Chapter 23 Configuring IGMP Snooping and MVR
Understanding IGMP Snooping
Immediate Leave
Immediate Leave is only supported on IGMP Version 2 hosts.
The switch uses IGMP snooping Immediate Leave to remove from the forwarding table an interface that
sends a leave message without the switch sending group-specific queries to the interface. The VLAN
interface is pruned from the multicast tree for the multicast group specified in the original leave message.
Immediate Leave ensures optimal bandwidth management for all blade servers on a switched network,
even when multiple multicast groups are simultaneously in use.

even when multiple multicast groups are simultaneously in use.
Note
You should only use the Immediate Leave feature on VLANs where a single blade server is connected
to each port. If Immediate Leave is enabled in VLANs where more than one blade server is connected
to a port, some blade servers might inadvertently be dropped.

IGMP Configurable-Leave Timer
You can configure the time that the switch waits after sending a group-specific query to determine if
hosts are still interested in a specific multicast group. The IGMP leave response time can be configured
from 100 to 5000 milliseconds. The timer can be set either globally or on a per-VLAN basis. The VLAN
configuration of the leave time overrides the global configuration.

IGMP Report Suppression
Note
IGMP report suppression is supported only when the multicast query has IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 reports.
This feature is not supported when the query includes IGMPv3 reports.
This feature is not supported when the query includes IGMPv3 reports.
The switch uses IGMP report suppression to forward only one IGMP report per multicast router query
to multicast devices. When IGMP router suppression is enabled (the default), the switch sends the first
IGMP report from all blade servers for a group to all the multicast routers. The switch does not send the
remaining IGMP reports for the group to the multicast routers. This feature prevents duplicate reports
from being sent to the multicast devices.
