NOTE:

In system view, the configuration is effective for the specified ports. In interface view or port group view,
the configuration is effective only on the current port or the ports in the current port group.

Any legal multicast MAC address except 0100-5Exx-xxxx (where x represents a hexadecimal number
from 0 to F) can be manually added to the multicast MAC address table. Multicast MAC addresses are
the MAC addresses whose the least significant bit of the most significant octet is 1.

Configuring IGMP snooping port functions

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure IGMP snooping port functions, complete the following tasks:

Enable IGMP snooping in the VLAN

Configure the corresponding port groups

Determine the aging time of dynamic router ports

Determine the aging time of dynamic member ports

Determine the multicast group and multicast source addresses

Configuring aging timers for dynamic ports

If the switch receives no IGMP general queries or PIM hello messages on a dynamic router port, the

switch removes the port from the router port list when the aging timer of the port expires.
If the switch receives no IGMP reports for a multicast group on a dynamic member port, the switch

removes the port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for that multicast group when

the aging timer of the port for that group expires.
If multicast group memberships change frequently, you can set a relatively small value for aging timer for

the dynamic member ports, and vice versa.
