Configuring Fast Leave Processing
With fast leave processing enabled, when the switch receives an IGMP leave message on a port, the
switch directly removes that port from the forwarding table entry for the specific group. If only one host is
attached to the port, enable fast leave processing to improve bandwidth management.
If only one host is attached to the port, enable fast leave processing helps improve bandwidth and
resource usage. If fast leave processing and unknown multicast packet dropping or non-flooding are
enabled on a port to which more than one host is connected, when one host leaves a multicast group,
the other hosts connected to port and interested in the same multicast group will fail to receive multicast
data for that group.
