LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
IGMP Querier | This field is applicable on the Ethernet ports. |
Mode | The switch treats an IGMP query port as being connected to an IGMP 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. |

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 screen) that are allowed to use the service.
Click Advanced Application and Multicast in the navigation panel. Click the IGMP Filtering Profile link to display the screen as shown.
