4.1 IGMP Snooping

IGMP snooping allows a layer-2 device such as the MES-2110 to eavesdrop on IGMP-based data packets traversing the communications channel on layer-3. This allows it to determine which ports should specifically receive multicast traffic in order to prevent multicasting flooding across all of its ports.

This tutorial shows you how to enable IGMP snooping, set IGMP to automatic query mode, and then set port 10 to static.
