Explanation of IGMP proxy

When there are no group members

The multicast server streams group 224.12.13.14 to switch 1 through port 1. IGMP snooping detects the stream, as you can see by using the command show igmpsnooping on switch 1.

When a client joins a group

Client 1 (attached to switch 2, the Snooper) sends an IGMP Membership Report for the group 224.12.13.14. Switch 2 forwards that report message in an unmodified state out its All Groups ports—in this case port 25.

Switch 3—the Proxy—receives the report on its downstream interface, vlan100. Switch 3 then creates a new report with itself as the sender. It sends this report upstream to switch 1
