IGMP Snooping

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol used for managing members of IP
multicast groups. The switch listens to the IGMP network traffic and forwards the IGMP multicast
packets to member portals on which the interested hosts are connected. On the wired side of the
network, the switch floods all the wired interfaces. This feature reduces unnecessary flooding of
multicast traffic in the network.
