Multicast Filtering Commands
This switch uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) to check for any attached hosts that
want to receive a specific multicast service. It identifies the ports containing hosts requesting a
service and sends data out to those ports only. It then propagates the service request up to any
neighboring multicast switch/router to ensure that it will continue to receive the multicast service.
IGMP Snooping
This section describes commands used to configure IGMP snooping on the switch.
TABLE 103 Multicast Filtering Commands
Command Group Function
IGMP Snooping Configures multicast groups via IGMP snooping or static assignment, sets the IGMP
version, enables proxy reporting, displays current snooping settings, and displays
the multicast service and group members
Static Multicast Routing Configures static multicast router ports which forward all inbound multicast traffic
to the attached VLANs
IGMP Filtering and Throttling Configures IGMP filtering and throttling
MVR for IPv4 Configures a single network-wide multicast VLAN shared by hosts residing in other
standard or private VLAN groups, preserving security and data isolation for normal
traffic
MVR for IPv6 Configures a single network-wide multicast VLAN shared by hosts residing in other
standard or private VLAN groups, preserving security and data isolation for normal
traffic
