Is Igmp Tcp or Udp?

Just like ICMP, IGMP does not use a transport layer protocol such as TCP or UDP.

What port is IGMP?

IGMP reports are forwarded to the uplink port (the router ports). Multicast data traffic is forwarded to uplink ports (the router ports). The operation of multicast IGMP snooping depends on the correct configuration of the upstream switch.

What is IGMP used for?

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) manages the membership of hosts and routing devices in multicast groups. IP hosts use IGMP to report their multicast group memberships to any immediately neighboring multicast routing devices.
