9. (Optional) Select the Block Unknown MultiCast Address Enable radio button.
When this feature is enabled, multicast packets are forwarded only to the ports that are in the multicast
group learned from IGMP snooping. All unknown multicast packets are dropped.
10. (Optional) Select an option from the IGMP Snooping Static Router Port menu.
You can select a port to be the dedicated IGMP snooping static router port if no IGMP query exists in
the network for the switch to discover the router port dynamically. After a port is selected as the static
router port, all IGMP Join and Leave reports are forwarded to the port.

Specify a VLAN for IGMP Snooping
You can specify a VLAN for IGMP snooping only if you enabled port-based or 802.1Q-based VLANs (see
Use VLANS for Traffic Segmentation on page 22).
To specify a VLAN for IGMP snooping:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using
an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > Multicast.
The IGMP Snooping Configuration page displays.
6. Make sure that the IGMP Snooping Status Enable radio button is selected.
By default, the Enable radio button is selected.
7. In the VLAN ID Enabled for IGMP Snooping field, enter the ID of the VLAN.
By default, if you enable IGMP snooping, snooping occurs on VLAN 1. However, you can enable snooping
on any VLAN:
• For port-based VLANs, you can enter a VLAN ID from 1 to the maximum number of ports that the
switch supports.
• For 802.1Q-based VLANs, you can enter a VLAN ID from 1 to 4094.
