Configuring IGMP Snooping and MVR

To use MVR, the switch must be running the LAN Base image.

This chapter describes how to configure Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping on the

Catalyst 2960, 2960-S, or 2960-C switch, including an application of local IGMP snooping, Multicast

VLAN Registration (MVR). It also includes procedures for controlling multicast group membership by

using IGMP filtering and procedures for configuring the IGMP throttling action. Unless otherwise noted,

the term switch refers to a standalone switch and a switch stack.

Stacking is supported only on Catalyst 2960-S switches running the LAN base image.

For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, see the switch

command reference for this release and the "IP Multicast Routing Commands" section in the Cisco IOS

IP Command Reference, Volume 3 of 3:Multicast, Release 12.4 on Cisco.com.
