IGMP Snooping

Use these settings to configure IGMP Snooping.

 

 

Active

Select Active to enable IGMP Snooping to forward group multicast traffic only to

 

ports that are members of that group.

 

 

Host Timeout

Specify the time (from 1 to 16,711,450) in seconds that elapses before the Switch

 

removes an IGMP group membership entry if it does not receive report messages

 

from the port.

 

 

Leave Timeout

Enter an IGMP leave timeout value (from 1 to 16,711,450) in seconds. This

 

defines how many seconds the Switch waits for an IGMP report before removing

 

an IGMP snooping membership entry when an IGMP leave message is received

 

from a host.

 

 

802.1p Priority

Select a priority level (0-7) to which the Switch changes the priority in outgoing

 

IGMP control packets. Otherwise, select No-Changeto not replace the priority.

 

 

IGMP Filtering

Select Active to enable IGMP filtering to control which IGMP groups a subscriber

 

on a port can join.

 

Note: If you enable IGMP filtering, you must create and assign

 

IGMP filtering profiles for the ports that you want to allow to

 

join multicast groups.

 

 

Unknown

Specify the action to perform when the Switch receives an unknown multicast

Multicast Frame

frame. Select Drop to discard the frame(s). Select Flooding to send the frame(s)

 

to all ports.
