IGMP State Table
This section provides descriptions of the fields in the IGMP State table.
• Multicast Group Address—Provides the multicast group address the interface is joined to.
• Interface / VPN Tunnel—Provides the interface (such as LAN) for the VPN policy.
• IGMP Version—Provides the IGMP version (such as V2 or V3).
• Time Remaining—Provides the amount of time left before the IGMP entry will be flushed.
This is calculated by subtracting the “Multicast state table entry timeout (minutes)”
value, which has the default value of 5 minutes, and the elapsed time since the multicast
address was added.
• Flush and Flush All buttons—To flush a specific entry immediately, check the box to the
left of the entry and click Flush. Click Flush All to immediately flush all entries.
