Parameter

Description

 

 

Multicast Filtering

Determines whether the switch uses IGMP on a per-port basis to manage

(IGMP)

IP Multicast traffic.

Default: Off

When Off, all ports on the switch simply forward IP multicast traffic.

 

When On, the feature enables each port on the switch to detect IGMP

 

queries and report packets, and to manage IP multicast traffic.

 

When you use the web browser Interface to enable Multicast Filtering,

 

the default operation is for each port in the switch to automatically

 

forward or drop IGMP traffic, depending on whether there are any IGMP

 

hosts or multicast routers on the port.
