4.

Configure a source IP
address for the IGMP leave

messages that the proxy
sends.

igmp-snooping leave source-ip
{ ip-address | current-interface }

The default is 0.0.0.0.

Configuring an IGMP snooping policy

Before you configure an IGMP snooping policy, complete the following tasks:

Enable IGMP snooping in the VLAN

Determine the ACL rule for multicast group filtering

Determine the maximum number of multicast groups that a port can join

Determine the 802.1p precedence for IGMP messages

Configuring a multicast group filter

On an IGMP snooping–enabled AC, the configuration of a multicast group allows the service provider

to define restrictions on multicast programs available to different users.
In an application, when a user requests a multicast program, the user's host initiates an IGMP report.

After receiving this report message, the AC compares the report against the configured ACL rule. If the
port that received the report can join this multicast group, the AC adds an entry for this port in the IGMP

snooping forwarding table. Otherwise, the AC drops this report message. Any multicast data that has

failed the ACL check is not sent to this port. In this way, the service provider can control the VOD

programs provided for multicast users.

By default, no group filter is
globally configured. That is, the

hosts in a VLAN can join any valid
multicast group.
