z If IGMP Snooping and VLAN VPN are enabled on a VLAN at the same time, IGMP queries are
likely to fail to pass the VLAN. You can solve this problem by configuring VLAN tags for queries.

Configuring the Version of IGMP Snooping
With the development of multicast technologies, IGMPv3 has found increasingly wide application. In
IGMPv3, a host can not only join a specific multicast group but also explicitly specify to receive or reject
the information from a specific multicast source. Working with PIM-SSM, IGMPv3 enables hosts to join
specific multicast sources and groups directly, greatly simplifying multicast routing protocols and
optimizing the network topology.
