IGMP proxy enables the router to issue IGMP host messages on behalf of hosts that the
router discovered through standard IGMP interfaces. The router acts as a proxy for its
hosts. E Series routers support IGMP proxy versions 2 and 3.
Figure 7 on page 72 shows a router in an IGMP proxy configuration. You enable IGMP
proxy on one interface, which connects to a router closer to the root of the tree. This
interface is the upstream interface. The router on the upstream interface is running IGMP.
You enable IGMP on the interfaces that connect the router to its hosts that are farther
away from the root of the tree. These interfaces are known as downstream interfaces.
