CGMP protocol, Cisco group management protocol
CGMP is used for limiting multicast traffic on Layer 2 network. The switch is unable to view Layer 3 data packets and cannot distinguish between IGMP and IGMP packets. CGMP is a protocol that allows the router to tell the switch the interface of multicast group users. The router can only generate CGMP messages, and the switch listens for CGMP.
