Using IGMP Snooping to Route Packets Based on Content

IGMP Snooping enables your switch to examine IGMP packets and forward them in ways based on their content. IGMP specifies how a host can register a router to receive specific multicast traf- fic. Configure the switch to use IGMP snooping in subnets that receive IGMP queries from either IGMP or the IGMP snooping querier. IGMP snooping constrains multicast traffic at Layer 2 by configuring Layer 2 LAN ports dynamically to forward multicast traffic only to those ports that want to receive it. The IGMP Snooping Function allows Snooping to be enabled or disabled on a per-switch basis. It is disabled by default.

To enable or disable IGMP snooping:

1.From the main Navigation Pane menu, select: Switch MulticastIGMP Snooping. The IGMP Snooping Setting page is displayed.

2.Select Enable or Disable.

3.Click Apply to save your settings.

Filtering Unknown Multicast Packets

You can enable or disable the blocking of unknown multicast packets that enter the switch. To enable or disable blocking of unknown multicast addresses:

1.From the main Navigation Pane menu, select:
