IGMPv3 and IGMP Snooping
In Release 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare
software, creating an IGMP static-group allows the
BigIron RX switch having L2 interfaces configured
with snooping to pull traffic from upstream sources
using IGMP joins. When using the uplink option, you
avoid burning a dedicated port. This is supported
for IGMP v2 and v3.

Section:
IGMP Proxy per VLAN or
instance
Introduced in version 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service
IronWare software, multicast traffic can be reduced
by configuring an BigIron RX switch to issue IGMP
host messages on behalf of hosts that the
configured router discovers through standard PIM
interfaces. The router is then able to act as a proxy
for the discovered hosts and perform IGMP tasks
upstream of the discovered hosts. Where there are
multiple IGMP hosts downstream, this removes the
need to send multiple messages.
