Multicast routers use IGMP v2.0 to learn which groups have members on each of their attached
physical networks. A multicast router keeps a list of multicast group memberships for each attached
network, and a timer for each membership. "Multicast group memberships" means the presence of at
least one member of a multicast group on a given attached network, not a list of all of the members.
When a host receives a General Query, it sets delay timers for each group (excluding the all-systems
group) of which it is a member on the interface from which it received the query.
When a router receives a Report, it adds the group being reported to the list of multicast group
memberships on the network on which it received the Report and sets the timer for the membership to
the [Group Membership Interval].
When a host joins a multicast group, it should immediately transmit an unsolicited Version 2
Membership Report for that group, in case it is the first member of that group on the network
When a host leaves a multicast group, if it was the last host to reply to a Query with a Membership Report
for that group, it SHOULD send a Leave Group message to the all-routers multicast group.
3.9 Stack
Stacking function is convenient for administrator to manage multiple switches by single IP.
Basically, you got to have min. 2 units,
Step 1: linking the switches by one category 5 or fiber cable.
Step 2: Choose either one management switch as Master switch, key in its IP number
(ex:203.70.249.152).
Step 3: Choose “Stack Config”.
Step 4: Choose “enable” of Stacking State, and “Save”.
