Manage multicast
Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups are identified
by Class D IP addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping allows the switch to forward
multicast traffic intelligently. Based on the IGMP query and report messages, the switch
forwards traffic only to the ports that request multicast traffic, rather than to all ports,
which could affect network performance.
IGMP snooping helps to optimize multicast performance and is especially useful for
bandwidth-intensive IP multicast applications such as online media streaming
applications.
