DESCRIPTION

Mode

Select auto to have the Switch learn multicast group membership

 

information of any VLANs automatically.

 

Select fixed to have the Switch only learn multicast group membership

 

information of the VLAN(s) that you specify below.

 

In either auto or fixed mode, the Switch can learn up to 16 VLANs

 

(including up to three VLANs you configured in the MVR screen). For

 

example, if you have configured one multicast VLAN in the MVR screen,

 

you can only specify up to 15 VLANs in this screen.

 

The Switch drops any IGMP control messages which do not belong to

 

these 16 VLANs.

 

Note: You must also enable IGMP snooping in the Multicast

 

Setting screen first.

 

 

Apply

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