Using Show command output to investigate IGMP state

No group In the first stage of the figure above, the multicast server is turned on and is streaming group members 224.12.13.14 to the Querier, switch 1. Switch 1 knows about the group, but has nobody

interested in receiving it. You can see this by using the command show igmpsnooping on switch 1. The output of this command shows that switch 1 has an entry for the group, but no associated ports.
