Configuring IGMP

This protocol allows a host to inform its local switch/router that it wants to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast address group. Use the IGMP Configuration screen to set key parameters for multicast filtering as shown below.

Parameter	Description
IGMP Status	If enabled, the switch will monitor network traffic to
	determine which hosts want to receive multicast
	traffic.
IGMP Query	The maximum number of queries issued for which
Count	there has been no response before the switch takes
	action to solicit reports.
IGMP Report	The time (in seconds) between receiving an IGMP
Delay	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.
