Description
Parameter
Configures a static connection to a virtual port
channel (vPC) peer link.
By default, the vPC peer link is considered a multicast
router port and the multicast packet is sent to the peer
link for each receiver VLAN.
To send the multicast traffic over a vPC peer link to
each receiver VLAN that has orphan ports, use the
no ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-link
command. If you use the
no ip igmp snooping
mrouter vpc-peer-link
command, the multicast
traffic is not sent over to a peer link for the source
VLAN and receiver VLAN unless there is an orphan
port in the VLAN. The IGMP snooping mrouter VPC
peer link should also be globally disabled on the peer
VPC switch.
Multicast router vpc-peer-link
Configures an interface that belongs to a VLAN as a
static member of a multicast group.
Static group
You can disable IGMP snooping either globally or for a specific VLAN.
Procedure
Purpose
Command or Action
Enters global configuration mode.
switch#
configure terminal
Step 1
Globally enables IGMP snooping. The default is enabled.
switch(config)#
ip igmp snooping
Step 2
If the global setting is disabled, all VLANs are
treated as disabled, whether they are enabled or not.
Note
Enters VLAN configuration mode.
switch(config)#
vlan
configuration vlan-id
Step 3
Enables IGMP snooping for the current VLAN. The default
is enabled.
switch(config-vlan)#
ip igmp
snooping
Step 4
If IGMP snooping is enabled globally, this command
is not required.
Note
Tracks IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 membership reports from
individual hosts for each port on a per-VLAN basis. The
default is enabled on all VLANs.
switch(config-vlan)#
ip igmp
snooping explicit-tracking
Step 5
Supports IGMPv2 hosts that cannot be explicitly tracked
because of the host report suppression mechanism of the
switch(config-vlan)#
ip igmp
snooping fast-leave
Step 6
IGMPv2 protocol. When you enable fast leave, the IGMP
software assumes that no more than one host is present on
each VLAN port. The default is disabled for all VLANs.
