M6100 Web Management User Guide
Allowing switches to snoop IGMP packets is a creative effort to solve this problem. The
switch uses the information in the IGMP packets as they are being forwarded throughout the
network to determine which segments should receive packets directed to the group address.
From the IGMP Snooping link, you can access the following pages:
• IGMP Snooping Configuration on page 169
• IGMP Snooping Interface Configuration on page 170
• IGMP VLAN Configuration on page 171
• Multicast Router Configuration on page 172
• Multicast Router VLAN Configuration on page 173
• IGMP Snooping Querier on page 174
• IGMP Snooping Querier Configuration on page 174
• IGMP Snooping Querier VLAN Configuration on page 175
IGMP Snooping Configuration
Use the IGMP Snooping Configuration page to configure the parameters for IGMP Snooping,
which is used to build forwarding lists for multicast traffic.
Note that only a user with Read/Write access privileges may change the data on this screen.
To access the IGMP Snooping Configuration page, click Switching
Multicast IGMP
Snooping
Configuration.
To configure IGMP Snooping:
1. Use the Admin Mode Enable/Disable radio button to select the administrative mode for
IGMP Snooping for the switch.
The default is Disable.
2. Use the V
alidate IGMP IP header option to Enable or Disable header validation for all
IGMP versions. If Validate IGMP IP Header is enabled, then IGMP IP header checks for
Router Alert option, ToS and TTL. The default value is Enable.
