434 CHAPTER 43: IGMP SNOOPING CONFIGURATION
Configuring IGMP Snooping filtering ACLs for a port
n
■ One port can belong to multiple VLANs. Only one ACL rule can be configured
on each of the VLANs to which the port belongs.
■ If the port does not belong to the VLAN where the command is configured, the
configured ACL rule does not take effect.
■ If no ACL rule is configured in the command, the multicast packets of all the
multicast groups are rejected.
Configuring to Limit
Number of Multicast
Groups on a Port
With a limit imposed on the number of multicast groups on the switch port, users
can no longer have as many multicast groups as they want when demanding
multicast group programs. Thereby, the bandwidth on the port is controlled.
Configuring IGMP
Snooping Querier
In an IP multicast network running IGMP, a multicast router is responsible for
sending IGMP general queries, so that all Layer 3 multicast devices can establish
and maintain multicast forwarding entries, thus to forward multicast traffic
correctly at the network layer. This router or Layer 3 switch is called IGMP querier.
