Operation Manual – Multicast
H3C S7500 Series Ethernet Switches
Caution:
An IGMP Snooping-enabled S7500 Ethernet switch judges whether the multicast group
exists when it receives an IGMP leave message sent by a host in a multicast group. If
this multicast group does not exist, the switch will drop the IGMP leave message
instead of forwarding it.
