igmp_snooping

This is an old revision of the document!


Port states:

  • mrouter (router port)
  • subscriber (port belongs to established multicast group)
  • none

Forwarding cases (igmp snooping enabled on vlan):

  • multicast traffic received on “none”
    • if no mrouter present, flood to all ports
    • otherwise flood to mrouter ports
  • igmp received on “none”
    • flood to mrouter ports only

Other notes:

  • if igmp snooping is disabled, multicast traffic is flooded to all ports in vlan, regardless of frame nature (i.e. it is igmp or not); static multicast fdb entries are ignored;
