•
If no match is found, the Layer 2 device discards the IGMP leave message.
•
If a match is found but the receiving port is not an outgoing interface in the forwarding entry, the
Layer 2 device discards the IGMP leave message.
•
If a match is found and the receiving port is not the only outgoing interface in the forwarding
entry, the Layer 2 device performs the following actions:
Discards the IGMP leave message.

Sends an IGMP group-specific query to identify whether the group has active receivers

attached to the receiving port.
Sets the aging timer for the receiving port to twice the IGMP last member query interval.

•
If a match is found and the receiving port is the only outgoing interface in the forwarding entry,
the Layer 2 device performs the following actions:
Forwards the IGMP leave message to all router ports in the VLAN.

Sends an IGMP group-specific query to identify whether the group has active receivers

attached to the receiving port.
Sets the aging timer for the receiving port to twice the IGMP last member query interval.

After receiving the IGMP leave message on a port, the IGMP querier resolves the multicast group
address in the message. Then, it sends an IGMP group-specific query to the multicast group through
the receiving port.
After receiving the IGMP group-specific query, the Layer 2 device forwards the query through all its
router ports in the VLAN and all member ports of the multicast group. Then, it waits for the
responding IGMP report from the directly connected hosts. For the dynamic member port that
received the leave message, the Layer 2 device also performs one of the following actions:
•
If the port receives an IGMP report before the aging timer expires, the Layer 2 device resets the
aging timer.
•
If the port does not receive an IGMP report when the aging timer expires, the Layer 2 device
removes the port from the forwarding entry for the multicast group.
