Configuration Using the Web-based Utility

Auto Learn  Select this option to enable Auto Learn on the device. If Auto Learn is enabled, the device automatically learns where other Multicast groups are located. The default is enabled (option is selected).

Host Timeout  Indicates the amount of time host waits to receive a message before timing out. The default time is

260seconds.

MRouter Timeout  Indicates the amount of the time the Multicast router waits to receive a message before it times out. The default value is 300 seconds.

Leave Timeout  Indicates the amount of time the host waits, after requesting to leave the IGMP group and not receiving a Join message from another station, before timing out. If a Leave Timeout occurs, the switch notifies the Multicast device to stop sending traffic The Leave Timeout value is either user-defined, or an immediate leave value. The default timeout is 10 seconds.

Multicast > Bridge Multicast

The Bridge Multicast screen displays the ports and LAGs attached to the Multicast service group in the Ports and LAGs tables. The Port and LAG tables also reflect the manner in which the port or LAGs joined the Multicast group.

Multicast > Bridge Multicast

Ports can be added either to existing groups or to new Multicast service groups. The Bridge Multicast screen permits new Multicast service groups to be created. The Bridge Multicast screen also assigns ports to a specific Multicast service address group.

The Bridge Multicast screen contains the following fields:

VLAN ID  Identifies a VLAN to be configured to a Multicast service.

Bridge Multicast Address  Identifies the Multicast group MAC address/IP address.

Bridge IP Multicast  Displays the port that can be added to a Multicast service.

Interface, Gigabit, LAG  Lists switch interfaces and LAGs that can be added to a Multicast service. The configuration options are as follows:

•Static  Indicates the port is user-defined.

•Dynamic  Indicates the port is configured dynamically.

•Forbidden  Forbidden ports are not included the Multicast group, even if IGMP snooping designated the port to join a Multicast group.

•None  The port is not configured for Multicast service.

Click Add to List to add the configured static multicast address to the table at the bottom of the screen.

Click Show All to display all multicast addresses on all VLANs in the table at the bottom of the screen.

Click Save Settings to save the changes, or Cancel Changes to cancel the changes.

Multicast > Bridge Multicast Forward All

The Bridge Multicast Forward All screen contains fields for attaching ports or LAGs to a device that is attached to a neighboring Multicast router or switch.

Multicast > Bridge Multicast Forward All

Once IGMP Snooping is enabled, Multicast packets are forwarded to the appropriate port or VLAN.

SLM224G4S specifications

The Linksys SLM224G4S is a sophisticated Layer 2 managed switch designed for businesses and institutions that demand high performance, reliability, and advanced networking features. This model stands out due to its blend of robustness and manageability, making it ideal for expanding networks.

One of the primary features of the SLM224G4S is its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for high-speed data transfers essential for bandwidth-intensive applications. Supporting auto-negotiation, these ports can detect the capabilities of connected devices and configure themselves accordingly, ensuring optimal performance without manual intervention. With four additional shared Gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports, this switch provides flexibility in network design and enhances scalability.

The SLM224G4S supports VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) capabilities, which can segment network traffic to improve security and performance. This is particularly useful in environments where different departments or teams require distinct network segments for operational efficiency. By implementing VLANs, organizations can enhance their network management while isolating sensitive information from potential threats.

Quality of Service (QoS) is another critical technology integrated into the SLM224G4S. It prioritizes network traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need for optimal performance. This is particularly important for VoIP and video conferencing applications, where latency and jitter can significantly impact user experience.

The switch also features advanced Layer 2 management functionalities, including SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), allowing IT administrators to monitor network performance and quickly troubleshoot issues. The embedded web-based management interface makes configuration straightforward, enabling quick adjustments to settings without deep networking knowledge.

Security is a paramount consideration in today’s networking landscape. The SLM224G4S provides robust security features, including port security that limits the number of MAC addresses allowed on a port, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Moreover, it supports802.1X port-based authentication, ensuring that only authenticated devices can connect to the network.

In summary, the Linksys SLM224G4S managed switch boasts features such as 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, VLAN support, QoS, SNMP management, and advanced security protocols. These characteristics make it an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their network's performance, safety, and reliability, paving the way for seamless connectivity in today’s digital age.
