Description

VLAN ID

This field displays the ID of the VLAN to be configured.

IGMP Snooping

Enable or disable IGMP snooping in the VLAN.

You can proceed with the subsequent configurations only if Enable is selected here.

Version

By configuring an IGMP snooping version, you actually configure the versions of IGMP
messages that IGMP snooping can process.

IGMP snooping version 2 can process IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages, but not
IGMPv3 messages, which will be flooded in the VLAN.

IGMP snooping version 3 can process IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3 messages.

Drop Unknown

Enable or disable the function of dropping unknown multicast packets.

Unknown multicast data refer to multicast data for which no entries exist in the IGMP
snooping forwarding table.

With the function of dropping unknown multicast data enabled, the switch drops all the
unknown multicast data received.

With the function of dropping unknown multicast data disabled, the switch floods
unknown multicast data in the VLAN to which the unknown multicast data belong.
