Hi,
Sorry I couldnt find a way to ask a question from the actual topic. There is just no required button for this, I am looking for like 20 minutes. So I am editing my draft.
There is a passage like this in the lesson ,
2.1 IGMP Group Leave
- After a host send IGMP group leave message, Switch will send general query to the interface where the host resides on. *
There are two possible outcomes:
If another host was connected to the Gi0/1 interface which was still interested in receiving traffic for 239.1.1.1 then the switch would just get rid of the group leave message, nothing will change.
Question : Since these are endpoints how another endpoint could possibly connected to a port which is already not empty? What is the meaning of sending general query only to the interface where leaving device connected? If this query would send all the interfaces of the switch except the router then it would be meaningful. Because then if there is some other device that still wants multicast traffic, It would be able to receive the query and responds it with a membership report then the switch wouldnt forward leave message to the Router. Is the sentence wrongly formulated or there is a point I’m missing?
