Disabling Multicast Flooding

If the switch receives a multicast packet that has an IP address of a group it has not learned (unregistered frame), the switch floods that packet out of all ports on the VLAN.

When you configure the no ip igmp snooping flood command, the system drops the packets immediately. The system does not forward the frames on mrouter ports, even if they are present. Disable Layer 3 multicast (no ip multicast-routing) in order to disable multicast flooding.

Configure the switch to only forward unregistered packets to ports on a VLAN that are connected to mrouter ports.
