DESCRIPTION

IGMP Filtering

Select Active to enable IGMP filtering to control which IGMP groups a

 

subscriber on a port can join.

 

Note: If you enable IGMP filtering, you must create and assign

 

IGMP filtering profiles for the ports that you want to allow to

 

join multicast groups.

 

 

Unknown

Specify the action to perform when the Switch receives an unknown

Multicast Frame

multicast frame. Select Drop to discard the frame(s). Select Flooding

 

to send the frame(s) to all ports.

 

 

Reserved

The IP address range of 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 are reserved for

Multicast Group

multicasting on the local network only. For example, 224.0.0.1 is for all

 

hosts on a local network segment and 224.0.0.9 is used to send RIP

 

routing information to all RIP v2 routers on the same network segment.

 

A multicast router will not forward a packet with the destination IP

 

address within this range to other networks. See the IANA web site for

 

more information.

 

The layer-2 multicast MAC addresses used by Cisco layer-2 protocols,

 

01:00:0C:CC:CC:CC and 01:00:0C:CC:CC:CD, are also included in this

 

group.

 

Specify the action to perform when the Switch receives a frame with a

 

reserved multicast address. Select Drop to discard the frame(s). Select

 

Flooding to send the frame(s) to all ports.

 

 

Port

This field displays the port number.

 

 

*

Settings in this row apply to all ports.

 

Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all

 

ports. Use this row first to set the common settings and then make

 

adjustments on a port-by-port basis.

 

Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as

 

you make them.

 

 

Immed. Leave

Select this option to set the Switch to remove this port from the

 

multicast tree when an IGMP version 2 leave message is received on

 

this port.

 

Select this option if there is only one host connected to this port.

 

 

Normal Leave

Enter an IGMP normal leave timeout value (from 200 to 6,348,800) in

 

miliseconds. Select this option to have the Switch use this timeout to

 

update the forwarding table for the port.

 

In normal leave mode, when the Switch receives an IGMP leave

 

message from a host on a port, the Switch waits for IGMP reports after

 

the multicast router sends out an IGMP Group-Specific Query (GSQ)

 

message to determine whether other hosts connected to the port

 

should remain in the specific multicast group.

 

This defines how many seconds the Switch waits for an IGMP report

 

before removing an IGMP snooping membership entry when an IGMP

 

leave message is received on this port from a host.
