With fast-leave processing enabled, after receiving an IGMP leave message from a host, the IGMP

querier directly sends a leave notification to the upstream without sending IGMP group-specific queries
or IGMP group-and-source-specific queries. Thus, the leave latency is reduced on one hand, and the

network bandwidth is saved on the other hand.

Configuration guidelines

The IGMP fast-leave processing configuration takes effect only if the switch is running IGMPv2 or

IGMPv3.

The fast-leave command in IGMP view takes effect only on Layer 3 interfaces except VLAN
interfaces.

To implement IGMP fast-leave on VLAN interfaces, use the igmp-snooping fast-leave command or
fast-leave (IGMP-snooping view).

Enabling the IGMP host tracking function

With the IGMP host tracking function, the switch can record the information of the member hosts that are

receiving multicast traffic, including the host IP address, running duration, and timeout time. You can

monitor and manage the member hosts according to the recorded information.
