2.3.2 Enabling IGMP Snooping

Context
By default, IGMP snooping is disabled on the S3700. You need to enable IGMP snooping on
the S3700 globally.
You can set the forwarding mode of multicast data so that the multicast flows can be forwarded
based on IP addresses or MAC addresses. When multicast IP addresses are mapped to MAC
addresses, up to 32 IP addresses can be mapped to one MAC address. Therefore, it is
recommended that multicast data be forwarded based on IP addresses; otherwise, unregistered
users may receive the multicast data.
