DescriptionParameter
Configures a static connection to a virtual port
channel (vPC) peer link.
By default, the vPC peer-link is considered a multicast
router port and the multicast packet is sent to the
peer-link for each receiver VLAN.
To send the multicast traffic over a vPC peer-link to
each receiver VLAN that has orphan ports, use the
no ip igmp snooping mrouter vpc-peer-link
command. If you use the no ip igmp snooping
mrouter vpc-peer-link command, the multicast
traffic wont be sent over to a peer-link for the source
VLAN and receiver VLAN unless there is orphan
port in the VLAN. The IGMP snooping mrouter
vpc-peer-link should also be globally disabled on the
peer VPC switch.
In Cisco NX-OS Release 5.0(3)N1(1), the
no ip igmp snooping mrouter
vpc-peer-link command is not supported in
topologies where there is dual-homed FEX
attached to a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series
switch.
Note
Multicast router vpc-peer-link
Configures an interface belonging to a VLAN as a
static member of a multicast group.

You can disable IGMP snooping either globally or for a specific VLAN.
