z

The fast leave processing function works for a port only if the host attached to the port runs IGMPv2

or IGMPv3.

z

The configuration performed in system view takes effect on all ports of the switch if no VLAN is

specified; if one or more VLANs are specified, the configuration takes effect on all ports in the

specified VLAN(s).

z

The configuration performed in Ethernet port view takes effect on the port no matter which VLAN it

belongs to if no VLAN is specified; if one or more VLANs are specified, the configuration takes

effect on the port only if the port belongs to the specified VLAN(s).

z

If fast leave processing and unknown multicast packet dropping are enabled on a port to which

more than one host is connected, when one host leaves a multicast group, the other hosts

connected to port and interested in the same multicast group will fail to receive multicast data for

that group.

Configuring a Multicast Group Filter

On an IGMP Snooping-enabled switch, the configuration of a multicast group allows the service

provider to define restrictions on multicast programs available to different users.

In an actual application, when a user requests a multicast program, the user’s host initiates an IGMP

report. Upon receiving this report message, the switch checks the report against the ACL rule

configured on the receiving port. If the receiving port can join this multicast group, the switch adds this

port to the IGMP Snooping multicast group list; otherwise the switch drops this report message. Any

multicast data that has failed the ACL check will not be sent to this port. In this way, the service provider

can control the VOD programs provided for multicast users.

Make sure that an ACL rule has been configured before configuring this feature.
