Chapter 4 - Configuration Management

ASUS GigaX 1024i+

The monitor port can not belong to any link aggregation group.

The monitor port can not operate as a normal switch

port. It does not switch packets or do address learning.

Only supports 8 egress ports to be mirrored, and the monitored

egress packets will be untag.

Click <

OK> to send the new settings to the switch via the HTTP server.

Click to <

Reload> to refresh the settings.

4.3.4 Static Multicast

This page can add multicast

addresses into the multicast table.

The switch can hold up to 127

multicast entries. All the ports in

the group will forward the specified

multicast packets to other ports in

the group.

Show Group: Select Add a new

Group to enter a new entry, or select

an existing group address to display.

MAC Address: Selects the multicast address

VLAN: Selects the vlan group

Click <

OK> to save any changes made. Click <Reload> to refresh the

settings.

4.3.5 IGMP Snooping

The IGMP snooping function can be

turned on or off. This helps reduce

the multicast traffics on the network.

When turned on, the switch snoops

the IGMP packets and puts the new

group into the multicast table. How-

ever, if the static entries occupy all

256 spaces, the IGMP snoop does

not work normally. The switch only

allows 256-layer 2 multicast group.
