Configure Switching
144
Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Cloud Switch with 2 SFP Fiber Ports
accordingly. It is required only if you want to make sure that the multicast router always
receives IGMP packets from the switch in a complex network.
 To configure multicast router interfaces:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 11.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Switchingï€ > Multicast > IGMP Snooping > Multicast Router Configuration.
The Multicast Router Configuration page displays.
6. To display information for all ports and LAGs, click the All link.
7. Select one or more interfaces by taking one of the following actions:
• To configure a single interface, select the check box associated with the port, or type
the port number in the Go To Interface field and click the Go button.
• To configure multiple interfaces with the same settings, select the check box
associated with each interface.
• To configure all interfaces with the same settings, select the check box in the heading
row.
8. In the Multicast Router field, select Enable or Disable.
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Configure a Multicast Router VLAN for IGMP Snooping
You can configure an interface to forward snooped IGMP packets only from a specific VLAN
to the multicast router that is attached to the interface. This configuration is usually not
required because the switch automatically detects a multicast router and forwards the IGMP
packets accordingly. However, in a complex network, it might be required if you want to make
sure that the multicast router always receives IGMP packets from the switch.
