Caution:
If the fast leave feature is enabled on a port to which more than one host is connected,
when one host leaves a multicast group, the other hosts connected to port and
interested in the same multicast group will fail to receive multicast data for that group.
1.4.5 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 belonging to a multicast group exit on the Layer 2 device, the
Layer 3 device directly connected with it will receive duplicate IGMP reports from these
members.
With the IGMP report suppression function enabled, within a query interval, the Layer 2
device forwards only the first IGMP report of a multicast group to the Layer 3 device and
will not forward the subsequent IGMP reports from the same multicast group to the
Layer 3 device. This helps reduce the number of packets being transmitted over the
network.
Follow these steps to configure IGMP report suppression:
