IGMP filtering (controlling multicast distribution)

IGMP filtering lets you control the distribution of multicast services on each switch port.
Filtering is useful for subscription services when clients must be explicitly authorised to view
a multicast stream.

IGMP Filtering is available in Software Version 2.7.5 or later.

Example

This example uses the same network configuration as

"IGMP snooping" on page 9

. For

convenience, the diagram is reproduced below.

The network contains a Windows 2000 workstation that regularly sends SVRLOC messages
(an IGMP Membership Report for 224.0.1.22). This group gets added to the list of groups in
vlan100 on switch 1, as shown in the following output of the show ip igmp command.

We do not need to receive this multicast, so we will filter it out.

Manager Switch 1> show ip igmp
