To configure IGMP Snooping:

Toggle the Switch IGMP Snooping field to Enabled. Toggle the Querier State field to the appropriate
choice between Non-Querier, V1-Querier, and V2-Querier to determine the version of IGMP that is used
in your network. A value between 2 and 255 can be entered for the Robustness Variable (default is 2).
The Query Interval can be set between 1 and 65500 seconds (default is 125 seconds). This sets the
time between IGMP queries. The Max Response allows a setting between 1 and 25 seconds (default is
10) and specifies the maximum amount of time allowed before sending a response report.

Highlight APPLY and press Enter to make the settings effective.
