CAUTION: As Switch C is not the IGMP Snooping querier, it cannot create
forwarding entries for Host A and Host B, and therefore, do not enable the
function of dropping unknown multicast packets on Switch C. To avoid impact on
the network and on Switch C caused by multicast flooding, it is recommended to
enable IGMP Snooping querier on the switch to which the multicast source is
directly attached.
