Configuring IGMP Snooping
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable IGMP report suppression:
To re-enable IGMP report suppression, use the ip igmp snooping report-suppression global
configuration command.
configuration command.
Disabling IP Multicast-Source-Only Learning
The IP multicast-source-only learning method is enabled by default. The switch learns the IP multicast
group from the IP multicast data stream and only forwards traffic to the multicast router ports.
group from the IP multicast data stream and only forwards traffic to the multicast router ports.
If IP multicast-source-only learning is disabled by using the no ip igmp snooping source-only-learning
global configuration command, the switch floods unknown multicast traffic to the VLAN and sends the
traffic to the CPU until the traffic becomes known. When the switch receives an IGMP report from a
host for a particular multicast group, the switch forwards traffic from this multicast group only to the
multicast router ports.

To disable multicast router discovery by PIMv2 packets, you should also enter the no ip igmp snooping
mrouter learn pim v2 global configuration command.

Note
We strongly recommend that you do not disable IP multicast-source-only learning. IP
multicast-source-only learning should be disabled only if your network is not composed of IP
multicast-source-only networks and if disabling this learning method improves the network
performance.
