IGMP Snooping
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping allows the Switch to recognize IGMP queries and reports
sent between network stations or devices and an IGMP host. When enabled for IGMP snooping, the Switch can
open or close a port to a specific device based on IGMP messages passing through the Switch.
IGMP Snooping Settings
In order to use IGMP Snooping it must first be enabled for the entire Switch under IGMP Snooping Global Settings
at the top of the window. You may then fine-tune the settings for each VLAN by clicking the corresponding Edit
button. When enabled for IGMP snooping, the Switch can open or close a port to a specific multicast group
member based on IGMP messages sent from the device to the IGMP host or vice versa. The Switch monitors
IGMP messages and discontinues forwarding multicast packets when there are no longer hosts requesting that
they continue.
