MULTICAST CONFIGURATION

Specifying Interfaces Attached to a Multicast Router

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 trunk) on your switch, you can manually configure that interface to join all the current multicast groups. This can ensure that multicast traffic is passed to all the appropriate interfaces within the switch.

Command Attributes

Interface – Activates the Port or Trunk scroll down list.

VLAN ID – Selects the VLAN to propagate all multicast traffic coming from the attached multicast router/switch.

Port or Trunk – Specifies the interface attached to a multicast router.

Web – Click IGMP, Static Multicast Router Port Configuration. Specify the interfaces attached to a multicast router, indicate the VLAN which will forward all the corresponding multicast traffic, and then click Add. After you have completed adding interfaces to the list, click Apply.
