This section contains information for configuring IGMP Snooping.
When IGMP Snooping is enabled globally, all IGMP packets are forwarded
to the CPU. The CPU analyzes the incoming packets and determines:
Which ports want to join which Multicast groups.
■
Which ports have Multicast routers generating IGMP queries.
■
Which routing protocols are forwarding packets and Multicast traffic.
■
Ports requesting to join a specific Multicast group issue an IGMP report,
specifying that Multicast group is accepting members. This results in the
creation of the Multicast filtering database.
