IGMP Snooping Folder
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping allows the Switch to recognize IGMP queries
and reports sent between network stations or devices and an IGMP host. When enabled for IGMP
snooping, the Switch can add or remove a port to a specific device based on IGMP messages passing
through the Switch.
In order to use IGMP Snooping, it must first be enabled for the entire Switch. Then, fine-tune the
settings for each VLAN using the IGMP Snooping windows in the L2 Features folder. When enabled
for IGMP snooping, the Switch can open or close a port to a specific multicast group member based on
IGMP messages sent from the device to the IGMP host or vice versa. The Switch monitors IGMP
messages and discontinues forwarding multicast packets when there are no longer hosts requesting that
they continue.
IGMP Snooping Settings
Use this window to enable or disable IGMP snooping on the Switch. The IGMP Snooping State under
