DES-3326S Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

All UDP multicast packets will be forwarded to the router port. Because routers do not send IGMP reports or implement IGMP snooping, a multicast router connected to the router port of the Layer 3 switch would not be able to receive UDP data streams unless the UDP multicast packets were all forwarded to the router port.

A router port will be dynamically configured when IGMP query packets, RIPv2 multicast, DVMRP multicast, PIM- DM multicast packets are detected flowing into a port.

To setup a static router port:

Click the Static Router Port Settings link under the IP Multicast Routing Protocols folder:

Figure 6-52. Static Router Port Settings

Ports that have been configured as a Static Router Port will be displayed under the Router Port heading and signified by a capital M, as shown above (port 8 M is for Multicast enabled router).
