RocketLinx ES8510-XTE User Guide: 2000574 Rev. C IGMP Query - 99
Configuration Using the Web Interface
IGMP Query
Use this page to configure the IGMP Query feature. Since the
ES8510-XTE can only be configured by member ports of the
management VLAN, the IGMP Query can only be enabled on the
management VLAN. If you want to run IGMP Snooping feature in
several VLANs, first check to see whether each VLAN has its own
IGMP Querier.
The IGMP querier periodically sends query packets to all end-stations
on the LANs or VLANs that are connected to it. For networks with
more than one IGMP querier, a switch with the lowest IP address
becomes the IGMP querier.
Unknown Multicast
This page allows you to decide how to forward the unknown multicast traffic. After
enabling IGMP Snooping, the known multicast can be filtered by IGMP Snooping
mechanism and forwarded to the member ports of known multicast groups. The other
multicast streams that are not learned are-called unknown multicasts, the
ES8510-XTE decides how to forward them based on the setting on this page.
IGMP Query Page
Version

Send to Query
Ports
The unknown multicast is sent to the Query ports. The
Query port means the port received the IGMP Query
packets. It is usually the uplink port of the switch.
Send to All Ports
The unknown multicast is flooded on all ports even if they
are not member ports of the groups.
Discard
The unknown multicast is discarded. Non-member ports
do not receive the unknown multicast streams.
