Set up a static router port for IGMP snooping
If your network does not include a device that sends IGMP queries, the switch cannot
discover the router port dynamically. (The router port is a port on a device in the network
that performs IGMP snooping in the network.) In this situation, select one port on the
switch as the dedicated static router port for IGMP snooping, allowing all IGMP Join
and Leave messages in the network to be forwarded to this port.
To set up a static router port for IGMP snooping:
1.
Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the device management password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4.
From the menu at the top of the page, select SWITCHING.
The Quality of Service (QoS) page displays.
5.
From the menu on the left, select MULTICAST.
The MULTICAST page displays.
6.
From the menu in the IGMP Snooping Static Router Port section, select a specific
port as the router port or select Any to let IGMP Join and Leave messages be sent
to every port on the switch.
Typically, the uplink port (that is, the port that is connected to your router or to the
device that provides your Internet connection) serves as the router port.
7. Click the APPLY button.
Your settings are saved.
