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.
