to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast group. You can

Parameter Description
IGMP Status If enabled, the switch will monitor network traffic to
determine which hosts want to receive multicast traffic.
This is also referred to as IGMP Snooping.
IGMP Query Count The maximum number of queries issued for which
there has been no response before the switch takes
action to solicit reports.
IGMP Report Delay The time (in seconds) between receiving an IGMP
Report for an IP multicast address on a port before the
switch sends an IGMP Query out that port and
removes the entry from its list.
