Disabling IGMP on an Interface
You can disable IGMP on specific interfaces. This is useful if you know that you do not have any

To disable IGMP on an interface, enter the following command:
hostname(config-if)# no igmp
To reenable IGMP on an interface, enter the following command:
hostname(config-if)# igmp
Only the no igmp command appears in the interface configuration.
Note

You can configure the FWSM to be a member of a multicast group. Configuring the FWSM to join a
multicast group causes upstream routers to maintain multicast routing table information for that group
and keep the paths for that group active.
To have the FWSM join a multicast group, enter the following command:
hostname(config-if)# igmp join-group group-address
