Table 63 Configuration items

Item Description

VLAN ID

This field displays the ID of the VLAN to be configured.

IGMP snooping

Enable or disable IGMP snooping in the VLAN.
You can proceed with the subsequent configurations only if Enable is selected

here.

Version

By configuring an IGMP snooping version, you actually configure the versions
of IGMP messages that IGMP snooping can process.

IGMP snooping version 2 can process IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages, but

not IGMPv3 messages, which will be flooded in the VLAN.

IGMP snooping version 3 can process IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3

messages.

Drop Unknown

Enable or disable the function of dropping unknown multicast packets.
Unknown multicast data refers to multicast data for which no entries exist in the
IGMP snooping forwarding table.

With the function of dropping unknown multicast data enabled, the device

drops all the unknown multicast data received.

With the function of dropping unknown multicast data disabled, the device

floods unknown multicast data in the VLAN to which the unknown multicast

data belong.

Querier

Enable or disable the IGMP snooping querier function.
On a network without Layer 3 multicast devices, no IGMP querier-related

function can be implemented because a Layer 2 device does not support
IGMP. To address this issue, you can enable IGMP snooping querier on a

Layer 2 device so that the device can generate and maintain multicast

forwarding entries at data link layer, thereby implementing IGMP
querier-related functions.

Query interval

Configure the IGMP query interval.

General Query Source IP

Source IP address of IGMP general queries.

Special Query Source IP

Source IP address of IGMP group-specific queries.
