FTOS supports version 1, version 2, and version 3 hosts.
FTOS IGMP snooping implementation is based on IP multicast address (not based on Layer 2
multicast mac-address) and the IGMP snooping entries are in Layer 3 flow table not in Layer 2
forwarding information base (FIB).
FTOS IGMP snooping implementation is based on draft-ietf-magma-snoop-10.
IGMP snooping is supported on all MXL 10/40GbE stack members.
IGMP snooping is not enabled by default on the switch.
A maximum of 1800 groups and 600 virtual local area network (VLAN) are supported.
IGMP snooping is not supported on default VLAN interface.
IGMP snooping is not supported over VLAN-Stack-enabled VLAN interfaces (you must disable
IGMP snooping on a VLAN interface before configuring VLAN-Stack-related commands).
IGMP snooping does not react to Layer 2 topology changes triggered by spanning tree protocol
(STP).
IGMP snooping reacts to Layer 2 topology changes triggered by multiple spanning tree protocol
(MSTP) by sending a general query on the interface that comes in FWD state.
