Variable definitions

The following table describes the fields of the Snoop tab.

Field Description
IfIndex Specifies the VLAN ID.
SnoopEnable Specifies the IGMP snoop status: enabled (true) or disabled (false).
ProxySnoopEnable Specifies the IGMP proxy status: enabled (true) or disabled (false).
SnoopMRouterPorts Specifies the static mrouter ports. Such ports directly attach to a multicast router so the multicast data and group reports are forwarded to the router.
SnoopActiveMRouterPorts Displays all dynamic (querier port) and static mrouter ports that are active on the interface.
SnoopMRouterExpiration Specifies the time remaining before the multicast router ages out on this interface. If the switch does not receive queries before this time expires, it flushes out all group memberships known to the VLAN. The Query Max Response Interval (obtained from the queries received) is the timer resolution.
