4.6.5 IGMP Snooping

IGMP snooping helps reduce the multicast traffics on the network by

allowing the IGMP snooping function to be turned on or off. When turned

on, the switch snoops the IGMP packets and puts the new group into the

multicast table. However, if the static entries occupy all 256 spaces, the

IGMP snoop does not work normally. The switch only allows 256-layer 2

multicast group.
