Chapter 7: IGMP

IGMPv3 Snooping

IGMPv3 includes new membership report messages to extend IGMP functionality.

The switch provides snooping capability for all types of IGMP version 3 (IGMPv3)

Membership Reports.

IGMPv3 supports Source-Specific Multicast (SSM). SSM identifies session traffic by both source and group addresses.

The IGMPv3 implementation keeps records on the multicast hosts present in the network. If a host is already registered, when it sends an IS_INC, TO_INC, IS_EXC, or TO_EXC report, the switch overwrites the existing (port-host-group) registration with the new registration; the registrations of other hosts on the same group, same port are not changed. IS_INCLUDE and TO_INCLUDE reports with no source are not registered.

The switch supports the following IGMPv3 filter modes:

„INCLUDE mode—The host requests membership to a multicast group and provides a list of IP addresses from which it wants to receive traffic.

„EXCLUDE mode—The host requests membership to a multicast group and provides a list of IP addresses from which it does not want to receive traffic. This indicates that the host wants to receive traffic only from sources that are not part of the Exclude list. To disable snooping on EXCLUDE mode reports, use the following command:

ex2500(config)# no ip igmp snoop igmpv3 exclude

By default, the switch snoops the first eight sources listed in the IGMPv3 Group

Record. Use the following command to change the number of snooping sources:

ex2500(config)# ip igmp snoop igmpv3 sources <1-64>

IGMPv3 Snooping is compatible with IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 Snooping. You can disable snooping on version 1 and version 2 reports, with the following command:

ex2500(config)# no ip igmp snoop igmpv3 v1v2

IGMP Snooping Configuration Example

This section provides steps to configure IGMP Snooping on the switch. Use the following procedure to configure IGMP Snooping:

1.Configure port and VLAN membership on the switch.

2.Enable IGMP Snooping. ex2500(config)# ip igmp snoop enable

3.Add VLANs to IGMP Snooping. ex2500(config)# ip igmp snoop vlan 1
