for multicast traffic.
 To configure IGMP snooping:

You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, 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.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Change the Default IP Address of the
Switch on page 9.
The login window opens.

The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Switching > Multicast > IGMP Snooping > IGMP Snooping Configuration.
