To configure general IGMP Snooping parameters and enable IGMP Snooping on a
VLAN:
STEP 1
Click
Multicast
>
IGMP Snooping
.
STEP 2
Enter the following information:
•
IGMP Snooping Version
—Select either IGMPv2 or IGMPv3.
•
Report Suppression
—Enable or disable IGMP report suppression.
Disabling this feature will forward all IGMP reports to Multicast routers.
NOTE
IGMP report suppression is supported only when the Multicast query
has IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 reports. This feature is not supported when the
query includes IGMPv3 reports.
The switch uses IGMP report suppression to forward only one IGMP report
per Multicast router query to Multicast devices. When IGMP report
suppression is enabled, the switch sends the first IGMP report from all hosts
for a group to all Multicast routers. The switch does not send the remaining
IGMP reports for the group to the Multicast routers. This feature prevents
duplicate reports from being sent to the Multicast devices.
The switch always forwards only the first IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report from all
hosts for a group to all Multicast routers, regardless of the Multicast router
query also includes requests for IGMPv3 reports.
