Alternate configurations are possible. Internal trunks do not require that trunked ports belong to the same VSG. Also, internal trunks may include multiple ports form any specific switch (individually or as part of the stack).
By default, all internal ports are excluded from trunks. To assign internal ports to trunks, see “Internal Trunk ID” on page 102.
IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping allows the switch to forward multicast traffic only to those ports that request it. IGMP Snooping prevents multicast traffic from being flooded to all ports. The switch learns which server hosts are interested in receiving multicast traffic, and forwards it only to ports connected to those servers.
By default, the switch floods unregistered IP multicast (IPMC) packets to all ports.
On the BBI, choose Virtual Switch Groups > Settings to enable IGMP Snooping for the desired VSG. The default value for all VSGs is enabled.
