Chapter 21 Multicast
21.4 IGMP Filtering Profile
IGMP filter profiles allow you to control access to IGMP multicast groups. This allows you to have a service available to a specific IGMP multicast group. You can configure an IGMP filter profile for an IGMP multicast group that has access to a service (like a SIP server for example). Within a profile, configure an IGMP filter to specify the multicast IP address ranges. Then assign the IGMP filter profile to the ports (in the Multicast Setting screen) that are allowed to use the service.
Click Advanced Applications and Multicast in the navigation panel. Click the Multicast Setting link and then the IGMP Filtering Profile link to display the screen as shown.
