The Arista MLS layer 2 switch must have IGMP or MLD Snooping configured on all VLANs.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>IGMP and MLD snooping provides a way to constrain multicast traffic at Layer 2. By monitoring the IGMP or MLD membership reports sent by hosts within a VLAN, the snooping application can set up Layer 2 multicast forwarding tables to deliver specific multicast traffic only to interfaces connected to hosts interested in receiving the traffic, thereby significantly reducing the volume of multicast traffic that would otherwise flood the VLAN.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Configure the Arista MLS switch for IGMP snooping for IPv4 and IPv6 multicast traffic for each VLAN.
Configure the Arista MLS switch for IP PIM, which also enables IGMP on an Arista MLS switch VLAN or interface, by using the following command:
switch(config)#int vlan8
ip igmp
