Command History

Release Modification
3.5.1

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

IGMP snooping can be enabled only on static VLANs.

IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3 snooping are supported.

To activate IGMP snooping, bridge multicast filtering must be enabled using the bridge multicast filtering command.

Examples

The following example enables IGMP snooping on VLAN 2: 


nfvis(config-switch)# ip igmp snooping vlan 2 enable
nfvis(config-switch)# commit
nfvis(config-switch)# end

ip igmp snooping vlan forbidden mrouter

To forbid a Gigabit Ethernet or port channel port from being defined as a Multicast router port by static configuration or by automatic learning, use the ip igmp snooping vlan forbidden mrouter command in switch configuration mode. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id forbidden mrouter interface { gigabitEthernet | port-channel} interface-id

no ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id forbidden mrouter interface

Syntax Description

vlan vlan-id

Specifies the VLAN ID.

interface

Specifies the interface type.

gigabitEthernet

Specifies Gigabit Ethernet as the interface type.

port-channel

Specifies port channel as the interface type.

interface-id

Specifies the interface ID.

Command Default

No ports are defined.

Command Modes

Switch configuration mode (config-switch)

Command History

Release Modification

3.5.1 This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

A port that is defined as a Multicast router port receives all IGMP packets (reports and queries) as well as all multicast data.

You can execute the command before the VLAN is created.

Examples


nfvis(config-switch)# ip igmp snooping vlan 2 forbidden mrouter interface gigabitEthernet 1/1

nfvis(config-switch)# commit
nfvis(config-switch)# end

ip igmp snooping vlan immediate-leave

no ip igmp snooping VLAN vlan-id immediate-leave

Syntax Description

vlan-id

Specifies the VLAN ID.

Command Default

Disabled

Command Modes

Switch configuration (config-switch)

Command History

Release Modification
3.5.1

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

You can run this command before creating the VLAN.

Examples

The following example enables IGMP snooping immediate-leave feature on VLAN 2. 


nfvis(config-switch)# ip igmp snooping vlan 2 immediate-leave 
nfvis(config-switch)# commit
nfvis(config-switch)# end

ip igmp snooping vlan querier address

To define the source IP address that the IGMP snooping querier uses, use the ip igmp snooping vlan querier address command in switch configuration mode. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.
