Describes how IGMP snooping manages IPv4 multicast traffic in Cisco ACI and explains how to configure snooping policies, queriers, static port groups, and access groups
IGMP snooping implementation in the ACI fabric
Explains how IGMP snooping software examines IP multicast traffic within a bridge domain to discover the ports where interested receivers reside, reducing bandwidth consumption and avoiding false flooding.
Virtualization support
Describes the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances support for IGMP snooping.
APIC IGMP snooping function
Describes the IGMP snooping function on APIC, including IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 support and the fast leave feature.
APIC IGMP snooping function and IGMPv3
Describes the IGMPv3 snooping capabilities and mechanisms in APIC that enable constrained multicast flooding and host tracking.
Cisco APIC and the IGMP snooping querier function
Explains the IGMP snooping querier function in Cisco APIC for managing multicast traffic when PIM is not enabled on an interface.
Guidelines and limitations for the APIC IGMP snooping function
Outlines the guidelines and limitations for the APIC IGMP snooping function.
Configure and assign an IGMP snooping policy to a bridge domain in the advanced GUI
Explains how to implement IGMP snooping functionality by configuring an IGMP snooping policy and assigning it to bridge domains.
Configure an IGMP snooping policy using the GUI
Configure an IGMP snooping policy whose IGMP settings can be assigned to one or multiple bridge domains.
Assign an IGMP snooping policy to a bridge domain using the GUI
Configure a bridge domain to use IGMP Snooping properties by assigning an IGMP Snooping policy through the APIC GUI interface.
IGMP snooping static port groups
Describes a network feature that pre-provisions switch ports to receive multicast traffic without join latency.
Requirement: deploy EPGs to static ports
Outlines the prerequisite for enabling IGMP snoop processing on ports by statically assigning target ports to associated EPGs.
Enable IGMP snooping and multicast on static ports using the GUI
Configure IGMP snooping and multicast on ports that have been statically assigned to an EPG to enable processing of IGMP protocol traffic.
IGMP snoop access groups
Explains the IGMP snoop access groups feature that controls multicast stream access on specific ports within application EPGs.
Enable group access to IGMP snooping and multicast using the GUI
Configure group access to IGMP snooping and multicast traffic for statically assigned EPG ports through the GUI interface.
Outlines the guidelines and limitations for the APIC IGMP snooping function.
