Table 84 Configuration items

ItemDescription

Select the port on which advanced IGMP snooping features will be configured. The port can be an GigabitEthernet port or Layer 2 aggregate interface.

After a port is selected, advanced features configured on this port are displayed at the lower part of this page.

Port

TIP:

 

VLAN ID

The advanced IGMP snooping configurations on a Layer 2 aggregate interface do not interfere with configurations on its member ports, nor do they participate in aggregation calculations. The configuration on a member port of the aggregate group does not take effect until the port leaves the aggregate group.

Specify the ID of the VLAN in which the port functions are to be configured. The configurations made in a VLAN take effect on the ports only in this VLAN.

Configure the maximum number of multicast groups on a port.

With this feature, you can limit multicast traffic on the port.

Group Limit

IMPORTANT:

If the number of multicast groups on a port exceeds the limit that you are setting, the system removes all the forwarding entries related to that port from the IGMP snooping forwarding table. The receiver hosts attached to that port can join multicast groups again before the number of multicast groups on the port reaches the limit.

Enable or disable fast-leave processing on the port.

When a port that is enabled with the IGMP snooping fast-leave processing feature receives an IGMP leave message, the switch immediately removes that port from the

Fast Leave forwarding entry for the multicast group specified in the message. When the switch receives IGMP group-specific queries for that multicast group, it does not forward them to

that port.

You can enable IGMP snooping fast-leave processing on ports to save bandwidth and resources.
