IGMP snooping setup
How do i set up IDMP snooping and querier correctly on multiple pro av switches to avoid multicast dropouts?

Configuring multiple IGMP Querier(s) on a network resp. multiple switches and the same VLAN is possible within the same network segment or VLAN, but only one switch will act as the active querier at any given time thanks to a standardized election process. This election ensures that only one device sends out IGMP Query messages to maintain multicast group memberships. Said that, this isn't the magic solution to avoid dropouts.
