IGMP fast leave

IGMP Fast Leave enhances your control over router or switch bandwidth. Enabling Fast Leave
tells IGMP snooping to stop the transmission of a group multicast stream to a port as soon as
it receives a Leave message on that port. No timeouts are observed.

Ordinarily, when IGMP snooping sees a Leave message, it waits for a Membership Query
message before setting the entry timeout to 2 seconds. Fast Leave tells IGMP to drop the
entry from the port as soon as the Leave message is seen. For this reason, Fast Leave should
only be configured on interfaces that have one clien t per port.

Availability

IGMP Fast Leave is available in Software Version 2.7.5 or later. In Software Versions
earlier than 281-03 and 2.9.1, configure it by using the command:

set igmpsnooping fastleave={on|off} interface=vlanx

In Software Versions 281-03 and 2.9.1, the syntax changed to make it consistent with

Query Solicitation

. Therefore, the above syntax is still valid but the recommended syntax is

now:

set igmpsnooping vlan=vlanx fastleave={on|off}

Software Version 291-08 introduced multiple mode for Fast Leave. See

"Multiple host

mode for fast leave" on page 67

.
