The CGMP Fast Leave feature reduces the delay when group members leave
groups. When an end station requests to leave a CGMP group, the group remains
enabled for that VLAN until all members have requested to leave. With the Fast
Leave feature enabled, the switch immediately verifies if there are other group
members attached to its ports. If there are no other members, the switch removes
the port from the group. If there are no other ports in the group, the switch sends
a message to routers connected to the VLAN to delete the entire group.
The Fast Leave feature functions only if CGMP is enabled. The client must be
running IGMP version 2 for the Fast Leave feature to function properly.
