FIGURE 51 Bridge VLAN - IGMP Snooping Tab
12. Define the following General parameters for the bridge VLAN configuration:
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol used for managing members of
IP multicast groups. Controller and service platforms listen to IGMP network traffic and forward
IGMP multicast packets to radios on which the interested hosts are connected. On the wired
side of the network, the wired interfaces are flooded. This feature reduces the unnecessary
flooding of multicast traffic in the network.
13. Define the following Multicast Router settings
Enable IGMP Snooping Select the check box to enable IGMP snooping. If disabled, snooping on a per VLAN basis is also
disabled. This feature is enabled by default. If disabled, the settings under bridge configuration are
overridden. For example, if IGMP snooping is disabled, but the bridge VLAN is enabled, the effective
setting is disabled.
Forward Unknown
Unicast Packets Select the check box to enable to forward multicast packets from unregistered multicast groups. If
disabled (the default setting), the unknown multicast forward feature is also disabled for individual
VLANs.
Interface Names Select the ge1 or radio interfaces used to IGMP snooping over a multicast router.
Multicast Router Learn
Mode Set the pim-dvmrp or static multicast routing learn mode.
