Configuring IGMP

This protocol allows a host to inform its local switch/router that it wants to receive

transmissions addressed to a specific multicast group. You can use the IGMP

Configuration screen to configure multicast filtering shown below:

CheetahSwitch Workgroup - 4508

IGMP Configuration

IGMP Status : ENABLED

Act as IGMP Querier : DISABLED

IGMP Query Count : 5

IGMP Report Delay (Minutes) : 5

<APPLY> <OK> <CANCEL>

Use <TAB> or arrow keys to move, <Space> to scroll options.

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

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.
