5-4-6-1. IGMP Snooping
The switch supports IP multicasting. You can enable IGMP via the web management’s configuration screen. In addition, you can view different multicast groups, VIDs and member ports, and IP multicast addresses that range from 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255.
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows the ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.
