145 Chapter 22 Multicast
The switch forwards multicast traffic destined for multicast groups (that it has learned from
IGMP snooping) to ports that are members of that group. The switch discards multicast traffic
destined for multicast groups that it does not know. IGMP snooping generates no additional
network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your
switch.
