2.6.3 Configuring the Function of Dropping Unknown Multicast Data
Unknown multicast data refers to multicast data for which no entries exist in the IGMP
Snooping forwarding table. When the switch receives such multicast traffic:
z
With the function of dropping unknown multicast data enabled, the switch drops all
the unknown multicast data received.
z
With the function of dropping unknown multicast data disabled, the switch floods
unknown multicast data in the VLAN which the unknown multicast data belongs to.
Follow these steps to configure the function of dropping unknown multicast data in a
VLAN:

Use the command...

2.6.4 Configuring IGMP Report Suppression
When a Layer 2 device receives an IGMP report from a multicast group member, the
device forwards the message to the Layer 3 device directly connected with it. Thus,
when multiple members of a multicast group are attached to the Layer 2 device, the
