Chapter 21 Configuring IGMP Snooping and MVR Configuring IGMP Snooping
Enabling or Disabling IGMP Snooping
By default, IGMP snooping is globally enabled on the switch. When globally enabled or disabled, it is
also enabled or disabled in all existing VLAN interfaces. IGMP snooping is by default enabled on all
VLANs, but can be enabled and disabled on a per-VLAN basis.
Global IGMP snooping overrides the VLAN IGMP snooping. If global snooping is disabled, you cannot
enable VLAN snooping. If global snooping is enabled, you can enable or disable VLAN snooping.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to globally enable IGMP snooping on the
switch:
To globally disable IGMP snooping on all VLAN interfaces, use the no ip igmp snooping global
configuration command.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable IGMP snooping on a VLAN interface:
To disable IGMP snooping on a VLAN interface, use the no ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id global
configuration command for the specified VLAN number.
Configuring a Multicast Router Port
To add a multicast router port (add a static connection to a multicast router), use the ip igmp snooping
vlan mrouter global configuration command on the switch.
Note Static connections to multicast routers are supported only on switch ports.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable a static connection to a multicast
router:
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 ip igmp snooping Globally enable IGMP snooping in all existing VLAN interfaces.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id Enable IGMP snooping on the VLAN interface.The VLAN ID range
is 1 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.
Note IGMP snooping must be globally enabled before you can
enable VLAN snooping.
Step 3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
