Defining Igmp Snooping - D-Link DGS-3100-48 User Manual

Defining IGMP Snooping

When IGMP Snooping is enabled globally, all IGMP packets are forwarded to the CPU. The CPU analyzes the incoming
packets and determines the following information:
– Which ports want to join which Multicast groups.
– Which ports have Multicast routers generating IGMP queries.
– Which routing protocols are forwarding packets and Multicast traffic.
Ports requesting to join a specific Multicast group issue an IGMP report, specifying that this Multicast group is accepting
members. This results in the creation of the Multicast filtering database.
IGMP Snooping configuration page supports also IGMP Querier.

Defines the time a host waits to receive a Join message from another station
after requesting to leave the IGMP group, prior to timing out. If a Leave
Timeout occurs, the switch notifies the Multicast device to stop sending
traffic. The Leave Timeout value is either user-defined, or an immediate
leave value. The default timeout is 10 seconds. The field range is 0-
16711450 seconds.
