IGMP Snooping Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure IGMP snooping on a Layer 2 multicast device so that the device can create and maintain a Layer 2 multicast forwarding table by analyzing IGMP messages exchanged between the upstream Layer 3 device and user hosts. This technology implements on-demand multicast data transmission at the data link layer.
"Switch" mentioned in this chapter or shown in figures refer to routers with Layer 2 multicast functions enabled.
