Configuring IGMP Snooping and MVR
Enabling or Disabling IGMP Snooping
By default, IGMP snooping is globally enabled on the switch. When globally enabled or disabled, it is
also enabled or disabled in all existing VLAN interfaces. IGMP snooping is by default enabled on all
VLANs, but can be enabled and disabled on a per-VLAN basis.
Global IGMP snooping overrides the VLAN IGMP snooping. If global snooping is disabled, you cannot
enable VLAN snooping. If global snooping is enabled, you can enable or disable VLAN snooping.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to globally enable IGMP snooping on the
switch:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
ip igmp snooping
Step 3
end
Step 4
copy running-config startup-config
To globally disable IGMP snooping on all VLAN interfaces, use the no ip igmp snooping global
configuration command.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable IGMP snooping on a VLAN interface:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id
Step 3
end
Step 4
copy running-config startup-config
To disable IGMP snooping on a VLAN interface, use the no ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id global
configuration command for the specified VLAN number.
Configuring a Multicast Router Port
To add a multicast router port (add a static connection to a multicast router), use the ip igmp snooping
vlan mrouter global configuration command on the switch.
Note
Static connections to multicast routers are supported only on switch ports.
