the forwarding entry corresponding to that port from the forwarding table;
instead, it resets the aging timer of the member port.
Upon receiving the IGMP leave message from a host, the IGMP querier resolves
from the message the address of the multicast group that the host just left and
sends an IGMP group-specific query to that multicast group through the port that
received the leave message. Upon receiving the IGMP group-specific query, a
switch forwards it through all the router ports in the VLAN and all member ports
of that multicast group, and performs the following to the receiving port:
If any IGMP report in response to the group-specific query arrives to the
■
member port before its aging timer expires, this means that some other
members of that multicast group still exist under that port: the switch resets
the aging timer of the member port.
If no IGMP report in response to the group-specific query arrives to the
■
member port before its aging timer expires as a response to the IGMP
group-specific query, this means that no members of that multicast group still
exist under the port: the switch deletes the forwarding entry corresponding to
the port from the forwarding table when the aging timer expires.
c
Caution: After an Ethernet switch enables IGMP Snooping, when it receives the
IGMP leave message sent by a host in a multicast group, it judges whether the
multicast group exists automatically. If the multicast group does not exist, the
switch drops this IGMP leave message.
