Router Port

A static Router Port is a port that has a multicast router attached

to it. Generally, this router would have a connection to a WAN or

to the Internet. Establishing a router port will allow multicast

packets coming from the router to be propagated through the

network, as well as allowing multicast messages (IGMP) coming

from the network to be propagated to the router.

The switch monitors each port for the UDP multicast packets and

IGMP multicast group membership reports. When these packets

are detected on a port, that port is dynamically assigned as a

router port.
To view the Router Port Page click the IGMP Snooping Folder and

then the IGMP Snooping Config. Subfolder.

Figure 6-61. Router Port Table Page

The table lists the VLAN ID and the Port List column displays the

ports on the switch that are associated with that VLAN ID and

have a multicast router attached to them.
