Depending on your network connections, IGMP snooping may not always be able to locate the IGMP querier.. Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a known multicast router/ switch connected over the network to an interface (port or lag) on the Switch, you can manually configure the interface (and a specified VLAN) to join all the current multicast groups supported by the attached router.. This can ensure that multicast traffic is passed to all the appropriate interfaces within the Switch..
Specify the interfaces attached to a multicast router, indicate the VLAN which will forward all the corresponding multicast traffic, and then click Add..

Multicast routers that are attached to ports on the Switch use information obtained from IGMP to support IP multicasting across the Internet.. These routers may be dynamically discovered by the Switch or statically assigned to an interface on the Switch..
You can use the Router Ports Query screen to display the ports on the Switch attached to a neighboring multicast router/switch for each VLAN ID..

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol designed specifically for managing devices on a network.. Equipment commonly managed with SNMP includes switches, routers and host computers.. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for proper operation in a network environment, as well as to monitor them to evaluate performance or detect potential problems..
