Operation Manual – IGMP Snooping H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 IGMP Snooping Configuration Router port: A router port is a port on the Layer-3 multicast device or the IGMP querier side of the Ethernet switch. In the figure, Ethernet 1/1/10 of Switch A and Ethernet 1/0 of Switch B are router ports.
Operation Manual – IGMP Snooping H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 IGMP Snooping Configuration 1.1.3 Work Mechanism of IGMP Snooping Caution: Only dynamic ports can be automatically added or deleted by the system. Static ports can be added or deleted only through the corresponding configurations.

Operation Manual – IGMP Snooping H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 IGMP Snooping Configuration If a forwarding table entry exists for the reported group, but the port is not included in the outgoing port list for that group in the forwarding entry, the switch adds the port as a dynamic member port into the outgoing port list, and starts an aging timer for that port.
1.1.4 Processing of Multicast Protocol Messages With Layer 3 multicast routing enabled, an IGMP Snooping–capable S9500 series Ethernet switch processes multicast protocol messages differently under different conditions, specifically as follows: If only IGMP is enabled, or both IGMP and PIM are enabled on the switch, the switch handles multicast protocol messages in the normal way.
Operation Manual – IGMP Snooping H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 IGMP Snooping Configuration 1.1.5 Protocols and Standards IGMP Snooping is documented in RFC 4541: Considerations for Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping Switches.
Operation Manual – IGMP Snooping H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 IGMP Snooping Configuration Note: Configurations made in IGMP Snooping view are effective for all VLANs, while configurations made in VLAN view are effective only for ports belonging to the current VLAN.
Operation Manual – IGMP Snooping H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 IGMP Snooping Configuration Note: IGMP Snooping must be enabled globally before it can be enabled in a VLAN. When you enable IGMP Snooping in a specified VLAN, this function takes effect for Ethernet ports in this VLAN only.
Disabled by default Note: An S9500 series routing switch still forward unknown multicast data to other router ports in the VLAN even if enabled to drop unknown multicast data. 1.4 Configuring IGMP Snooping Port Functions 1.4.1 Configuration Prerequisites...

Operation Manual – IGMP Snooping H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 IGMP Snooping Configuration When a port is configured as a simulated member host, the switch sends an unsolicited IGMP report through that port. After a port is configured as a simulated member host, the switch responds to IGMP general queries by sending IGMP reports through that port.
Operation Manual – IGMP Snooping H3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 1 IGMP Snooping Configuration If the switch receives no IGMP reports for a multicast group on a dynamic member port, the switch removes the port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for that multicast group when the aging timer of the port for that group expires.
