7000 Series - Configuring IGMP Snooping (Multicasting)
The aim of this document is to describe the steps to setup and test IGMP Snooping
The purpose Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping is to restrain multicast traffic
in a switched network. By default, a LAN switch floods multicast traffic within the broadcast
domain and this can consume a lot of bandwidth if many multicast servers are sending streams to
the segment.
Multicast IP addresses are Class D IP addresses. Therefore, all IP addresses from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255 are multicast IP addresses.
IGMP Snooping can be very effective in network environments where Multicast applications like
Video/Audio streaming are being used.
