IGMP Snooping Implementation Information

• IGMP snooping on Dell Networking OS uses IP multicast addresses not MAC addresses.
• IGMP snooping is supported on all stack members.
• IGMP snooping reacts to spanning tree protocol (STP) and multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP)
topology changes by sending a general query on the interface that transitions to the forwarding state.
• If IGMP snooping is enabled on a PIM-enabled VLAN interface, data packets using the router as an
Layer 2 hop may be dropped. To avoid this scenario, Dell Networking recommends that users enable
IGMP snooping on server-facing end-point VLANs only.

Configuring IGMP Snooping

Configuring IGMP snooping is a one-step process. To enable, view, or disable IGMP snooping, use the
