IGMP Querier

The Switch treats an IGMP query port as being connected to an IGMP

 

Mode

multicast router (or server). The Switch forwards IGMP join or leave

 

 

packets to an IGMP query port.

 

 

Select Auto to have the Switch use the port as an IGMP query port if

 

 

the port receives IGMP query packets.

 

 

Select Fixed to have the Switch always use the port as an IGMP query

 

 

port. Select this when you connect an IGMP multicast server to the

 

 

port.

 

 

Select Edge to stop the Switch from using the port as an IGMP query

 

 

port. The Switch will not keep any record of an IGMP router being

 

 

connected to this port. The Switch does not forward IGMP join or leave

 

 

packets to this port.

 

 

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

 

Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the

 

 

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-

 

 

volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
