Configuring IGMP
This protocol allows a host to inform its local switch/router that it
wants to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast address
group. Use the IGMP Configuration screen to set key parameters for
multicast filtering as shown below.
Note: The default values are indicated in the sample screen.
Parameter Description
IGMP Status If enabled, the switch will monitor network traffic to
determine which hosts want to receive multicast
traffic.
Act as IGMP
Querier
If enabled, the switch can serve as the “querier,”
which is responsible for asking hosts is they want to
receive multicast traffic. (Not available for the
current firmware release.)
IGMP Query
Count
The maximum number of queries issued for which
there has been no response before the switch takes
action to solicit reports.
IGMP Report
Delay
The time (in seconds) between receiving an IGMP
Report for an IP multicast address on a port before
the switch sends an IGMP Query out that port and
removes the entry from its list.
