Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions Multicast Multicast filtering improves the performance of networks that carry multicast traffic. This section explains multicasts, multicast filtering, and how multicast filtering can be implemented on your Moxa switch. The Concept of Multicast Filtering What is an IP Multicast? A multicast is a packet sent by one host to multiple hosts. Only those hosts that belong to a specific multicast group will receive the multicast.
Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions Network without multicast filtering All hosts receive the multicast traffic, even if they don’t need it. Network with multicast filtering Hosts only receive dedicated traffic from other hosts belonging to the same group.
Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions IGMP Multicast Filtering IGMP is used by IP-supporting network devices to register hosts with multicast groups. It can be used on all LANs and VLANs that contain a multicast capable IP router, and on other network devices that support multicast filtering. Moxa switches support IGMP version 1, 2 and 3.
Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions IGMP Snooping IGMP Snooping provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it travels only to those end destinations that require that traffic, thereby reducing the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN. IGMP Snooping Setting Enable IGMP Snooping (Global) Setting Description Enable/Disable Checkmark the Enable IGMP Snooping checkbox near the top of Disabled Factory Default the window to enable the IGMP Snooping function globally.
Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch NOTE Featured Functions If a router or layer 3 switch is connected to the network, it will act as the Querier, and consequently this Querier option will be disabled on all Moxa layer 2 switches. If all switches on the network are Moxa layer 2 switches, then only one layer 2 switch will act as Querier. IGMP Group Status The Moxa switch displays the current active IGMP groups that were detected. View IGMP group setting per VLAN ID on this page.

Enable GMRP Setting Description Factory Default Select/Deselect Checkmark the check boxes to enable GMRP function for the None port listed in the Port column.
Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions Traffic prioritization uses the four traffic queues that are present in your Moxa switch to ensure that high priority traffic is forwarded on a different queue from lower priority traffic. Traffic prioritization provides Quality of Service (QoS) to your network. Moxa switch traffic prioritization depends on two industry-standard methods: • IEEE 802.1D—a layer 2 marking scheme. • Differentiated Services (DiffServ)—a layer 3 marking scheme.
Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions Traffic Prioritization Moxa switches classify traffic based on layer 2 of the OSI 7 layer model, and the switch prioritizes received traffic according to the priority information defined in the received packet. Incoming traffic is classified based upon the IEEE 802.1D frame and is assigned to the appropriate priority queue based on the IEEE 802.1p service level value defined in that packet.
Moxa E Series Managed Ethernet Switch Featured Functions Type 1 The Moxa switch supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 CoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets. Queuing Mechanism Setting Description Factory Default Weight Fair The Moxa switch has 4 priority queues.
