User Guidelines

This command has no user guidelines.

Example

The following example enables IGMP snooping on VLAN 2.

console(config-vlan)#ip igmp snooping 2

ip igmp snooping fast-leave

This command enables or disables IGMP Snooping fast-leave mode on a selected VLAN. Enabling
fast-leave allows the switch to immediately remove the layer 2 LAN interface from its forwarding
table entry upon receiving an IGMP leave message for that multicast group without first sending
out MAC-based general queries to the interface. The no form of this command disables IGMP
Snooping fast-leave mode on a VLAN.

You should enable fast-leave admin mode only on VLANs where only one host is connected to each
layer 2 LAN port. This setting prevents the inadvertent dropping of the other hosts that were
connected to the same layer 2 LAN port but were still interested in receiving multicast traffic
directed to that group. Also, fast-leave processing is supported only with IGMP version 2 hosts.

Syntax

ip igmp snooping fast-leave vlan-id

no ip igmp snooping fast-leave

vlan id—Number assigned to the VLAN.
