Defining IGMP Snooping Settings
Layer 2 switching forwards multicast packets to all relevant VLAN ports by default, treating
the packet as a multicast packet. This type of traffic forwarding is functional; however,
irrelevant ports also receive multicast traffic, causing increased network traffic.
IGMP snooping eliminates unnecessary multicast traffic by examining IGMP frames while
they are forwarded from stations to a multicast routers.
