Figure 6-20. Isolating IP Multicast Traffic in a Network

In the above figure, the multicast group traffic does not go to switch 1 and
beyond because either the port on switch 3 that connects to switch 1 has
been configured as blocked or there are no hosts off of switch 1 or switch
2 that belong to the multicast group.

For PC #1 to become a member of the same multicast group without
flooding IP multicast traffic on all ports of switches 1 and 2, IGMP must
be configured on both switches 1 and 2.
