NOTE:

Enable IGMP snooping globally before enable it in a VLAN.

When you enable IGMP snooping in a specified VLAN, this function takes effect on the ports in this
VLAN only.

Configuring the version of IGMP snooping

By configuring an IGMP snooping version, you actually configure the version of IGMP messages that

IGMP snooping can process.

IGMP snooping version 2 can process IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages, but not IGMPv3 messages,
which will be flooded in the VLAN.

IGMP snooping version 3 can process IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 messages.

Follow these steps to configure the version of IGMP snooping:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter VLAN view

vlan vlan-id

Configure the version of IGMP
snooping

igmp-snooping version
version-number

Optional
Version 2 by default

CAUTION:

If you switch IGMP snooping from version 3 to version 2, the system will clear all IGMP snooping
forwarding entries from dynamic joins, and will:

Keep forwarding entries for version 3 static (*, G) joins.

Clear forwarding entries from version 3 static (S, G) joins, which will be restored when IGMP snooping
is switched back to version 3.

For more information about static joins, see “

Configuring static ports

.”

Configuring static multicast MAC address entries

In Layer-2 multicast, a Layer 2 multicast protocol—such as IGMP snooping—can dynamically add

multicast MAC address entries. You can also configure static multicast MAC address entries.

Configuring a static multicast MAC address entry in system view

Follow these steps to configure a static multicast MAC address entry in system view

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Configure a static multicast MAC
address entry

mac-address multicast mac-address
interface interface-list vlan vlan-id

Required
No static multicast MAC address
entries exist by default.
