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. |
Note: The default values are indicated in the sample screen.
