Configure IGMP Snooping for a Multicast Router VLAN
You can configure the interface to forward only the snooped IGMP packets that come from
VLAN ID (<vlanId>) to the multicast router attached to this interface. The configuration is not
needed most of the time because the switch automatically detects the presence of a
multicast router and forwards IGMP packets accordingly. It is needed only when you want to
make sure that the multicast router always receives IGMP packets from the switch in a
complex network.
