Multicast Filtering

Mode

Synopsis: { Passive, Active }

Default: Passive Specifies IGMP mode:

PASSIVE - the switch passively snoops IGMP traffic and never sends IGMP queries

ACTIVE - the switch generates IGMP queries, if no queries from a better candidate for being the querier are detected for a while.

Query Interval

Synopsis: 10 to 3600

Default: 60 s

The time interval between IGMP queries generated by the switch.

NOTE: This parameter also affects the Group Membership Interval (i.e. the group subscriber aging time), therefore, it takes effect even in PASSIVE mode.

Router Ports

Synopsis: Any combination of numbers valid for this parameter

Default: None

This parameter specifies ports that connect to multicast routers. If you do not configure known router ports, the switch may be able to detect them, however it is advisable to pre-configure them.

Router Forwarding

Synopsis: { Off, On }

Default: On

This parameter specifies whether multicast streams will be always forwarded to multicast routers.

RSTP Flooding

Synopsis: { Off, On }

Default: Off

This parameter specifies whether multicast streams will be flooded out of all RSTP non-edge ports upon topology change detection. Such flooding is desirable, if guaranteed multicast stream delivery after topology change is most important.
