Accton Technology ES3528M-SFP manual Specifying Static Interfaces for a Multicast Router

Multicast Filtering 3

support IP multicasting across the Internet. These routers may be dynamically discovered by the switch or statically assigned to an interface on the switch.

You can use the Multicast Router Port Information page to display the ports on this switch attached to a neighboring multicast router/switch for each VLAN ID.

Command Attributes

•VLAN ID – ID of configured VLAN (1-4093).

•Multicast Router List – Multicast routers dynamically discovered by this switch or those that are statically assigned to an interface on this switch.

Web – Click IGMP Snooping, Multicast Router Port Information. Select the required VLAN ID from the scroll-down list to display the associated multicast routers.

Specifying Static Interfaces for a Multicast Router

Depending on your network connections, IGMP snooping may not always be able to locate the IGMP querier. Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a known multicast router/ switch connected over the network to an interface (port or trunk) on your switch, you can manually configure the interface (and a specified VLAN) to join all the current multicast groups supported by the attached router. This can ensure that multicast traffic is passed to all the appropriate interfaces within the switch.

Command Attributes

•Interface – Activates the Port or Trunk scroll down list.

•VLAN ID – Selects the VLAN to propagate all multicast traffic coming from the attached multicast router.
