[e-nsp] Summit450X - strange IGMP-snooping on port connected to Linux server?

Hello all,
Sorry to take you back guys, Am wondering how you can enable the IGMP on a
layer 2 switch without preparing the switch for any routing and hence having
the switch at layer 3.

Because the way I understand this you can't enable igmp OR ipmcforwarding
without having ipforwarding enabled.

If you have some good results with the ethereal then you can stop the igmp
service OR deman of the unix server.

Regards
