IGMP snooping is a layer 2 function and doesn't require any
layer 3 configuration on the switch performing it. When a host sends an
IGMP join the switch will hear it and add the appropriate multicast MAC
address to the CAM table for that port. What is the specific problem
you are seeing or trying to solve?
