HP 2500 manual CLI Configuring and Displaying Igmp, How Igmp Operates on

Configuring Advanced Features

Multimedia Traffic Control with IP Multicast (IGMP)

• Blocked: Causes the switch to drop all IGMP transmissions received from a specific port and to block all outgoing IP Multicast packets for that port. This has the effect of preventing IGMP traffic from moving through specific ports.

• Forward: Causes the switch to forward all IGMP and IP multicast transmissions through the port.

	■ Querier: In the default state (enabled), eliminates the need for a multicast
	router. In most cases, HP recommends that you leave this parameter in
	the default “enabled” state even if you have a multicast router performing
	the querier function in your multicast group. For more information, see
	“How IGMP Operates” on page 9-97.
N o t e	Whenever IGMP is enabled, the switch generates an Event Log message
	indicating whether querier functionality is enabled.
	For more information, refer to “How IGMP Operates” on page 9-97.
