      Description of problem:

      The default configuration of OVS bridge (unlike linux bridge) is to disable multicast snooping. That may case excess multicast traffic flowing into the pod without being filtered by ovn-kubernetes localnet bridge. To avoid this, OCPBUGS-54909 proposes change to the examples in our docs - to guide users to enable snoop filtering by default.
      
      Our localnet tests should use this attribute too.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      4.15+

      How reproducible:

      Always, test coverage out of sync

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Go to our T2 tests

      Actual results:

      They cover localnet on top of a dedicated OVS bridge without any snooping configuration 

      Expected results:

      Multicast snoop filtering should be enabled. See OCPBUGS-54909 to know how

      Additional info:

      Update (Yossi Segev 2025-Apr-15):
      Updating the tests should be done both in polarion and in automation.
