Layer 2 IGMP (Snooping and Query)
– 392 –
N
OTE
:
When the switch is configured to use IGMPv3 snooping, the
snooping version may be downgraded to version 2 or version 1, depending
on the version of the IGMP query packets detected on each VLAN.
N
OTE
:
IGMP snooping will not function unless a multicast router port is
enabled on the switch. This can accomplished in one of two ways. A static
router port can be manually configured (see
). Using this method, the router port is never timed
out, and will continue to function until explicitly removed. The other
method relies on the switch to dynamically create multicast routing ports
whenever multicast routing protocol packets or IGMP query packets are
detected on a port.
N
OTE
:
A maximum of up to 255 multicast entries can be maintained for
IGMP snooping. If the table’s capacity is exceeded, the IGMPv3 snooping
will not support multicast source filtering, but will forward multicast traffic
from all relevant sources to the requesting hosts.
Static IGMP Router Interface – If IGMP snooping cannot locate the IGMP
querier, you can manually designate a known IGMP querier (i.e., a
multicast router/switch) connected over the network to an interface on
your switch (
). This interface will then join all the current
multicast groups supported by the attached router/switch to ensure that
multicast traffic is passed to all appropriate interfaces within the switch.

Use the IGMP Snooping > IGMP Configuration page to configure the switch
to forward multicast traffic. Based on the IGMP query and report
messages, the switch forwards multicast traffic only to the ports that
request it. This prevents the switch from broadcasting the traffic to all
ports and possibly disrupting network performance.

IGMP Snooping
– This switch can passively snoop on IGMP Query and
Report packets transferred between IP multicast routers/switches and
IP multicast host groups to identify the IP multicast group members. It
simply monitors the IGMP packets passing through it, picks out the
group registration information, and configures the multicast filters
accordingly.
N
OTE
:
Unknown multicast traffic is flooded to all ports in the VLAN for
several seconds when first received. If a multicast router port exists on the
VLAN, the traffic will be filtered by subjecting it to IGMP snooping. If no
router port exists on the VLAN or the multicast filtering table is already full,
the switch will continue flooding the traffic into the VLAN.
