IGMP Snooping

Select enable (unknown-flood)to have the IES-1000 only forward group multicast traffic to

 

Mode

ports that are members. IGMP packets for multicast groups that the IES-1000 has not

 

 

learned are flooded to all of the IES-1000’s ports. This reduces the amount of multicast

 

 

traffic passing through your switch.

 

 

Select enable (unknown-discard)to have the IES-1000 only forward group multicast traffic

 

 

to ports that are members. The IES-1000 drops IGMP packets that are destined for

 

 

multicast groups that the IES-1000 has not learned. Selecting enable (unknown-discard)

 

 

results in less multicast traffic passing through your switch than if you select enable

 

 

(unknown-flood).

 

 

Select disable to treat multicast traffic in the same manner as broadcast traffic, that is, it is

 

 

forwarded to all ports.

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the IES-1000's volatile memory. The IES-1000

 

 

loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Config Save link on the

 

 

navigation panel to the left to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are

 

 

done configuring.

 

ID

This field displays the location of the entry in the multicast filtering database.

 

 

 

 

VLAN ID

This is the VLAN ID (Virtual LAN ID) for the multicast group.

 

 

 

 

Group IP

This field displays the multicast IP address of a multicast group.

 

Address

 

 

MAC Address

This field displays the last three bytes of the MAC address to which the multicast group is

 

 

mapped.
