SAGE

IGMP throttling sets a maximum number of multicast groups that a port

can join at the same time. When the maximum number of groups is

reached on a port, the switch can take one of two actions; either “deny”

or “replace.” If the action is set to deny, any new IGMP join reports will

be dropped. If the action is set to replace, the switch randomly

removes an existing group and replaces it with the new multicast

group.

P

ARAMETERS

These parameters are displayed:

Interface – Port or trunk identifier.
An IGMP profile or throttling setting can be applied to a port or trunk.

When ports are configured as trunk members, the trunk uses the

settings applied to the first port member in the trunk.

Profile ID – Selects an existing profile to assign to an interface.

Max Multicast Groups – Sets the maximum number of multicast

groups an interface can join at the same time. (Range: 1-255;

Default: 255)
