Displaying Multicast Group Information

When IGMP (Layer 3) is enabled on this switch the current multicast groups learned via IGMP can be displayed in the IP/IGMP/Group Information page. When IGMP (Layer 3) is disabled and IGMP (Layer 2) is enabled, you can view the active multicast groups in the IGMP Snooping/IP Multicast Registration Table (see page 3-198).
