3.1.3.7 IGMP Snooping
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping is used to restrict the spread of
multicast data in layer 2 and to monitor and analyze IGMP messages. Multicast data is
forwarded based on the set up between the port and the multicast MAC address. When
multicast data is received the switch will know which port should receive the transmitted
multicast data.
In this menu option select enable for both the IGMP snooping status and Auto Query
Status and then select <Apply>. To display the configuration results select ‘IGMP-
Snooping’ again.
Note: The static FDB multicast must be disabled before enabling IGMP Snooping. The
maximum number of multicast addresses supported is 256.
