Configuring IGMP 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
show ip igmp snooping
Step 5
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
show ip igmp snooping [vlan vlan-id] Display snooping configuration.
Step 5
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 (for example, vlan1).
Setting the Snooping Method
Multicast-capable router ports are added to the forwarding table for every IP multicast entry. The switch
learns of such ports through one of these methods:
•
•
•
You can configure the switch to either snoop on PIM/DVMRP packets or to listen to CGMP self-join
packets. By default, the switch snoops on PIM/DVMRP packets on all VLANs. To learn of multicast
router ports through only CGMP self-join packets, use the ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id mrouter
learn cgmp global configuration command. When this command is used, the router listens only to
CGMP self-join packets and no other CGMP packets. To learn of multicast router ports through only
PIM-DVMRP packets, use the ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id mrouter learn pim-dvmrp global
configuration command.
