IGMP Snooping

Static multicast router

A static multicast router (Mrouter) can be configured for a particular port on a particular VLAN. A static Mrouter does not have to be learned through IGMP Snooping.

You can configure static Mrouters on any switch port except the management port 17. The switch supports up to total of sixteen static Mrouters.

When you configure a static Mrouter on a VLAN, it replaces any dynamic Mrouters learned through IGMP Snooping.

IGMP Snooping configuration example

This section provides steps to configure IGMP Snooping on the switch, using the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Browser-based Interface (BBI).

Configuring IGMP Snooping (CLI example)

1.Configure port and VLAN membership on the switch, as described in the “Configuring ports and VLANs (CLI example)” section in the “VLANs” chapter.
