Configuring Igmp Snooping - Dell PowerConnect B-FCXs Configuration Manual

Notice that the ports connected to the source and the receivers are all in the same port-based
VLAN on the device. This is required for the PIM SM snooping feature. The devices on the edge of
the Global Ethernet cloud are configured for IP multicast traffic reduction and PIM SM traffic
snooping. Although this application uses multiple devices, the feature has the same requirements
and works the same way as it does on a single device.
