IGMP

Network

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol used for managing members of IP
multicast groups. The access point listens to IGMP network traffic and forwards the IGMP multicast
packets to radios on which the interested hosts are connected. On the wired side of the network,
the access point floods all the wired interfaces. This feature reduces unnecessary flooding of
multicast traffic in the network.

To view network IGMP configuration options:

Bridge Name

Displays the numeric ID of the network bridge.

MAC Address

Displays the MAC address of each listed bridge.

Interface

Displays the controller or service platform physical port interface the bridge uses to transfer packets.
Interface availability is slightly different amongst supported controller and service platform models.

VLAN

Displays the VLAN the bridge is using as a virtual interface within the controller or service platform
managed network.

Forwarding

Displays whether the bridge is forwarding packets.

Refresh

Select Refresh to update the statistics counters to the latest values.
