IGMP Multicast Group Information
To display multicast group and router port information, click Configuration, IGMP Snooping, Multicast Entry Table.
The IGMP Multicast Router Information table displays the current multicast groups learned through IGMP Snooping. Multicast routers that are attached to ports on the switch use information obtained from IGMP, along with a multicast routing protocol such as DVMRP or PIM, to support IP multicasting across the Internet. You can use the IGMP Multicast Router Information table to see which ports on the switch are attached to a neighboring multicast router.

■VLAN Name – The name of the VLAN on the switch that is forwarding multicast traffic.
■Source IP - The IP address of one of the multicast servers transmitting traffic to the specified group.
■Group Address – IP multicast group address with subscribers directly attached or downstream from the switch, or a static multicast group assigned to this interface.
■Member Port – An downstream port that is receiving traffic for the specified multicast group.
■Dynamic Router Port – The port interfaces dynamically discovered by the switch to be attached to Multicast routers.
