Using the Web Console

packets to a static router port on the ZT8101 switch guarantees that all ports of a multi-port router, which are attached to the switch, can reach all multicast group members through the attached router’s other ports.

A router port interacts with multicast packets in these ways:

•All IGMP report packets will be forwarded to the router port.

•IGMP queries (from the router port) will be flooded to all ports.

•All UDP multicast packets will be forwarded to the router port. Because routers do not send IGMP reports or implement IGMP snooping, a multi-port router connected to the router port of the Layer 3 switch would not be able to receive UDP data streams from its ports unless the UDP multicast packets were all forwarded to the router port.

A router port will be dynamically configured when IGMP query packets, RIPv2 multicast, DVMRP multicast, PIM-DM multicast packets are detected flowing into a port.
