action permits access to the multicast group, the IGMP report from the port is forwarded for normal processing.
You can also set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2 interface can join.
IGMP filtering controls only group-specific query and membership reports, including join and leave reports.
It does not control general IGMP queries. IGMP filtering has no relationship with the function that directs
the forwarding of IP multicast traffic. The filtering feature operates in the same manner whether CGMP or
MVR is used to forward the multicast traffic.
IGMP filtering applies only to the dynamic learning of IP multicast group addresses, not static configuration.
With the IGMP throttling feature, you can set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2 interface
can join. If the maximum number of IGMP groups is set, the IGMP snooping forwarding table contains the
maximum number of entries, and the interface receives an IGMP join report, you can configure an interface
to drop the IGMP report or to replace the randomly selected multicast entry with the received IGMP report.
Note
IGMPv3 join and leave messages are not supported on switches running IGMP filtering.
