3-15-2 IGMP Proxy

Function name:

IGMP Proxy Configuration

Function description:

IGMP proxy enables the switch to issue IGMP host messages on behalf of
hosts that the system discovered through standard IGMP interfaces. The
switch acts as a proxy for its hosts.

You enable IGMP proxy on the switch, which connects to a router closer to the
root of the tree. This interface is the upstream interface. The router on the
upstream interface should be running IGMP.
