3. Adjust the following parameters as necessary:
1 - IGMP Snooping Status
Enables or disables IGMP snooping on the switch. The default setting
is disabled.
2 - Host Topology
Defines whether there is only one host node per switch port or multiple
host nodes per port. The possible settings are:
Single-Host/Port (Edge)
The Single-Host/Port setting is appropriate when there is only one host
node connected to each port on the switch. This setting causes the
switch to immediately stop sending multicast packets out a switch port
when a host node signals its desire to leave a multicast group by
sending a leave request or when the host node stops sending reports.
The switch responds by immediately ceasing the transmission of
additional multicast packets out the port where the host node is
connected.
Multiple Host/Ports (Intermediate)
The Multi-Host setting is appropriate if there is more than one host
node connected to a switch port, such as when a port is connected to
an Ethernet hub to which multiple host nodes are connected. With this
setting selected the switch continues sending multicast packets out a
port even after it receives a leave request from a host node on the port.
This ensures that the remaining active host nodes on the port continue
to receive the multicast packets. Only after all the host nodes
connected to a switch port have transmitted leave requests or have
timed out does the switch stop sending multicast packets out the port.
