Using the Telnet Console

The Router Port table contains the VLAN name, and under the port groupings (1 to 8, 9 to 16, 17 to 24, and 25 to 26), a port is assigned an “S” if the port is a static router port, a “D” if the port has been dynamically assigned to be a router port, or a “-” if the port is not a router port.

To view the IGMP snooping status

You can view IGMP group information for each VLAN.

1.From the Main Menu, select Network Monitoring IGMP Snooping Status and press Enter.

2.In the VLAN Name field, enter the name of the VLAN to retrieve IGMP snooping information. Highlight FIND and press Enter.

The IGMP Snooping Status screen contains the following information.

Column

Description

 

 

Multicast group

The IP address of a multicast group learned by IGMP snooping.

 

 

MAC address

The corresponding MAC address learned by IGMP snooping.

 

 

Reports

The number of IGMP reports for the listed source.

 

 

To view the IP multicast forwarding table

You can browse the IP multicast forwarding table for static and dynamic (learned) entries. You can also search the table using a combination of a multicast group IP address, a multicast source IP address, and a subnet mask.

1.From the Main Menu, select Network Monitoring IP Multicast Forwarding Table and press Enter.

2.Enter the following: a multicast group address, a source IP address, and a source subnet mask address. To find all multicast groups known to the switch, use 0.0.0.0 for all the addresses.

3.Highlight FIND and press Enter.

The IP Multicast Forwarding Table contains the following information.

Column

Description

 

 

Multicast Group

The IP address of a multicast group.

 

 

Source IP Addr.

The IP address of a multicast source.

 

 

Source Mask

The subnet mask of a multicast source.

 

 

Upstream Neighbor

The IP address of the next hop router between the multicast group and the

source.

 

 

 

Expire Time

The number of seconds the packets from the multicast source can live.

 

 

Prot.

The multicast routing protocol used by the current source.

 

 

To view the IGMP group table

You can view IGMP information for an IP interface name and a multicast group IP address.

1.From the Main Menu, select Network Monitoring IGMP Group Table and press Enter.

2.Enter the name of an IP interface and the IP address of a multicast group. To find all multicast groups, use 0.0.0.0 for the addresses.
