Enable IGMP Snooping

IGMP specifies how a host can register a router in order to receive specific multicast traffic.

 

IGMP Snooping allows the NB9/NB9W to capture IGMP frames. When your NB9/NB9W

 

hears an IGMP report from a host for a given multicast group it adds the host’s port number

 

for that group. When the NB9/NB9W hears an IGMP Leave, it removes the host’s port from

 

the table entry.

 

Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic

 

- that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is

 

only forwarded to ports that have members of that group. IGMP Snooping generates no

 

additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing

 

through your NB9/NB9W.
