This chapter shows you how to configure IGMP.

26.1 Overview

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish
membership in a multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 1112 and RFC
2236 for information on IGMP versions 1 and 2 respectively.
The switch supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up,
the switch queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the
switch periodically updates this information.
