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
following commands.
