Parameter

Description

IGMP Status

If enabled, the switch will monitor network traffic to determine which

 

hosts want to receive multicast traffic.

for asking hosts is they want to receive multicast traffic. (Not

 

implemented in 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 minutes) 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.

Note: The default values are indicated in the sample screen.
