IGMP snooping > Explanation of IGMP snooping

Using Show command output to investigate IGMP state

No group

members

In the first stage of the figure above, the multicast server is turned on and is streaming group
224.12.13.14 to the Querier, switch 1. Switch 1 knows about the group, but has nobody
interested in receiving it. You can see this by using the command show igmpsnooping on
switch 1. The output of this command shows that switch 1 has an entry for the group, but no
associated ports.

Client joins

the group

When a client joins the group, the Group List changes for the Snooper that the client is
attached to, and for the Querier. First, look at the output of the command show
igmpsnooping
on the Snooper.
