IGMP Snooping

– 150 –

When a multicast host leaves a group, it sends an IGMP leave message.

When the leave message is received by the switch, it checks to see if

this host is the last to leave the group by sending out an IGMP group-

specific or group-and-source-specific query message, and starts a

timer. If no reports are received before the timer expires, the group

record is deleted, and a report is sent to the upstream multicast router.
A reduced value will result in reduced time to detect the loss of the last

member of a group or source, but may generate more burst traffic.
This attribute will take effect only if IGMP snooping proxy reporting is

enabled (see

page 151

).

URI - The Unsolicited Report Interval specifies how often the upstream
interface should transmit unsolicited IGMP reports when report

suppression/proxy reporting is enabled. (Range: 0-31744 seconds,

Default: 1 second)

ILTERING

Use the IGMP Snooping Port Group Filtering Configuration page to filter

specific multicast traffic. In certain switch applications, the administrator

may want to control the multicast services that are available to end users;

for example, an IP/TV service based on a specific subscription plan. The

IGMP filtering feature fulfills this requirement by denying access to

specified multicast services on a switch port.
