  • Page 42 3 Web-based Management 3.5.2.2 Node IGMP 3.5.2.3 IGMP Snooping Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping (IGMP Snooping) is a multicast constraining mechanism that runs on Layer 2 devices to manage and control multicast groups. By listening to and analyzing IGMP messages, a Layer 2 device running IGMP Snooping establishes mappings between ports and multicast MAC addresses and forwards multicast data based on these mappings.
  • Page 43 3 Web-based Management shown in the following figure, when IGMP Snooping is not running on the device, multicast packets are broadcasted to all devices at Layer 2. When IGMP Snooping is running on the switch, multicast packets for known multicast groups are multicast to the receivers, rather than broadcast to all hosts, at Layer 2.
  • Page 44 3 Web-based Management On this page, you can enable the IGMP Snooping feature for a VLAN group. By default, the IGMP Snooping feature is disabled. With the wide use of multicast, IGMPv3 is used more and more.
