Configure IGMP snooping: Sets Internet Group Management Protocols (IGMP) options for multimedia applications, such as desktop video conferencing, that use IP multicast addresses.

Configure permanent MAC addresses: Allows permanent mapping between a network device and a port.

Configure port security: Configures the switch to only allow the transmission of authorized traffic over a particular port(s).

Configure MAC address filtering: Allows the switch to drop traffic based on MAC source or destination addresses.
