Enable IGMP Snooping on the
VLAN
Before enabling IGMP Snooping in a VLAN, be sure to enable IGMP Snooping globally in system
view; otherwise the IGMP Snooping settings will not take effect.
If IGMP Snooping and VLAN VPN are enabled on a VLAN at the same time, IGMP queries are
likely to fail to pass the VLAN. You can solve this problem by configuring VLAN tags for queries.
For details, see
Configuring the Version of IGMP Snooping
By configuring an IGMP snooping version, you actually configure the version of IGMP messages that
IGMP snooping can process.
IGMP snooping version 2 can process IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages, but not IGMPv3 messages,
which will be flooded in the VLAN.
IGMP snooping version 3 can process IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 messages.
