out.
NOTE:
In IGMP snooping, only dynamic ports age out.
How IGMP snooping works
The ports in this section are dynamic ports.
IGMP messages include general query, IGMP report, and leave message. An IGMP
snooping-enabled switch performs differently depending on the message.
General query
The IGMP querier periodically sends IGMP general queries to all hosts and routers on the local
subnet to determine whether any active multicast group members exist on the subnet. The
destination address of IGMP general queries is 224.0.0.1.
After receiving an IGMP general query, the switch forwards the query through all ports in the VLAN
except the receiving port. The switch also performs one of the following actions:
•
If the receiving port is a dynamic router port in the router port list, the switch restarts the aging
timer for the port.
•
If the receiving port is not in the router port list, the switch adds the port as a dynamic router port
into the router port list and starts an aging timer for the port.
IGMP report
A host sends an IGMP report to the IGMP querier for the following purposes:
•
Responds to IGMP queries if the host is a multicast group member.
•
Applies for a multicast group membership.
After receiving an IGMP report, the switch forwards it through all the router ports in the VLAN,
resolves the address of the reported multicast group, and performs one of the following actions:
•
If no forwarding entry matches the group address, the switch creates a forwarding entry for the
group, adds the receiving port as a dynamic member port to the forwarding entry, and starts an
aging timer for the port.
•
If a forwarding entry matches the group address, but the receiving port is not in the forwarding
entry for the group, the switch adds the port as a dynamic member port to the forwarding entry,
and starts an aging timer for the port.
•
If a forwarding entry matches the group address and the receiving port is in the forwarding entry
for the group, the switch restarts the aging timer for the port.
A switch does not forward an IGMP report through a non-router port. If the switch forwards a report
message through a member port, the IGMP report suppression mechanism running on hosts causes
all attached hosts that monitor the reported multicast address to suppress their own reports. In this
case, the switch cannot determine whether the reported multicast group still has active members
attached to that port.
Leave message
An IGMPv1 host silently leaves a multicast group and the switch is not notified of the leaving.
However, because the host stops sending IGMP reports as soon as it leaves the multicast group, the
switch removes the port that connects to the host from the forwarding entry for the multicast group
when the aging timer for the port expires.
