Item Description

Drop Unknown

Enable or disable the function of dropping unknown multicast packets.
Unknown multicast data refers to multicast data for which no entries exist in the

IGMP snooping forwarding table.

With the function of dropping unknown multicast data enabled, the device

drops all the received unknown multicast data.

With the function of dropping unknown multicast data disabled, the device

floods unknown multicast data in the VLAN to which the unknown multicast

data belong.

Querier

Enable or disable the IGMP snooping querier function.
On an IP multicast network that runs IGMP, a Layer 3 device acts as an IGMP
querier to send IGMP queries and establish and maintain multicast forwarding

entries for correct multicast traffic forwarding at the network layer.
On a network without Layer 3 multicast devices, no IGMP querier-related
function can be implemented because a Layer 2 device does not support

IGMP. To implement IGMP querier-related function, you can enable IGMP

snooping querier on a Layer 2 device so that the device can generate and
maintain multicast forwarding entries at data link layer.

Query interval

Configure the IGMP query interval.

General Query Source IP

Source IP address of IGMP general queries.

Special Query Source IP

Source IP address of IGMP group-specific queries.
