routing on a layer 2 switch?

2950 won't do routing.

2960, however, can.  You'll need to upgrade the switch to 12.2(55)SE3 and later.

2950 is a layer-2 switch.  You need command

ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id

here is the config guide:

Reza you're making me feel stupid lol....

No worries John. With so many different product lines and switch series Cisco has, some times it is confusion what devices do layer-2 and what do layer-3, what IOS works with what platforms and features set.

It is all good
