IGMP snooping with private VLANs

A PVLAN consists of secondary isolated and community VLANs configured within a

primary VLAN. Without IGMP snooping support on the secondary VLANs, multicast
streams received on a primary VLAN are flooded to the secondary VLANs. This feature
extends IGMP snooping on a primary VLAN to its secondary VLANs, which further
constrains multicast streams only to interested receivers on PVLANs. When IGMP
snooping is enabled on a primary VLAN, it is implicitly enabled on all secondary
VLANs, and the secondary VLANs learn the multicast group information on the primary
VLAN.

General IGMP Snooping Restrictions

Multicast packets are not bridged in a VLAN to local receivers that send IGMP
joins when PIM snooping is enabled in the VLAN and IGMP snooping is disabled in the
VLAN. ( CSCta03980)
For more information on IP multicast and IGMP, see RFC 1112 and RFC 2236.
IGMP snooping supports private VLANs. Private VLANs do not impose any
restrictions on IGMP snooping.
