Configuring IGMP Snooping
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 uses CGMP to forward the
multicast traffic.
IGMP filtering is applicable 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.
