Functional Notes
IGMP snooping is a method of preventing switches from flooding all ports with received multicast streams.
By monitoring the conversations between a host and a router, the switch can determine which multicast
streams will interest a host and load its own forwarding tables to take advantage of that knowledge. When
the host sends a leave message to the router, the switch removes the entries after a timeout period.
Usage Examples
The following example globally enables IGMP snooping:
