Multicast
Multicast forwarding allows a single packet to be forwarded to multiple destinations. L2 Multicast
service is based on L2 switch receiving a single packet addressed to a specific Multicast address.
Multicast forwarding creates copies of the packet, and transmits the packets to the relevant ports.

Layer 2 switching forwards Multicast packets to all relevant VLAN ports by default, treating the
packet as a Multicast transmission. Multicast traffic forwarding is functional. However, irrelevant
ports also receive the Multicast, causing increased network traffic. Multicast forwarding filters
enable forwarding of Layer 2 packets to port subsets, defined in the Multicast filter database.

IGMP Snooping Configuration
When IGMP snooping is enabled, all IGMP packets are forwarded to the CPU. The CPU analyzes
the incoming packets and determines which ports want to join which Multicast groups, which
ports have Multicast routers generating IGMP queries, and what routing protocols are forwarding
packets and Multicast traffic. Ports requesting to join a specific Multicast group issues an IGMP
report specifying that Multicast group. This results in the creation of the Multicast filtering
database.
