Enabling IGMP snooping

When you enable IGMP snooping, follow these guidelines:

You must enable IGMP snooping globally before you enable it in a VLAN.

If you enable IGMP snooping for a VLAN, do not enable IGMP or PIM on the corresponding VLAN
interface. If you enable IGMP or PIM on a VLAN interface, do not enable IGMP snooping for the

VLAN.

IGMP snooping for a VLAN works on only the ports in this VLAN.

To enable IGMP snooping:

Specifying the IGMP snooping version

Different versions of IGMP snooping can process different versions of IGMP messages:

IGMPv2 snooping can process IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages, but flood IGMPv3 messages in the
VLAN instead of processing them.

IGMPv3 snooping can process IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 messages.

If you change IGMPv3 snooping to IGMPv2 snooping, the system does the following:

Clears all IGMP snooping forwarding entries that are dynamically added.

Keeps static IGMPv3 snooping forwarding entries (*, G).

Clears static IGMPv3 snooping forwarding entries (S, G), which will be restored when IGMP
snooping is switched back to IGMPv3 snooping.

For more information about static joins, see "

Configuring static ports
