Chapter 22 Multicast
The Switch forwards multicast traffic destined for multicast groups (that it has learned from
IGMP snooping or that you have manually configured) to ports that are members of that
group. IGMP snooping generates no additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly
reduce multicast traffic passing through your Switch.
