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 to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. From the menu at the top of the page, select SWITCHING.
The 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.
Set Up Link Aggregation
The switch supports both static link aggregation groups (also referred to as port trunking groups) and Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) groups through IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation. A link aggregation
group (LAG) lets you to combine multiple Ethernet ports into a single logical link.Your network devices treat
the aggregation as if it were a single link. Depending on how link aggregation is set up in your network, the
link supports either increased bandwidth (a larger pipe) or fault tolerance (if one port fails, another one takes
over).
The switch supports four LAGs. If you use ports 1 and 2 with 10G connections, you can set up a LAG that
supports up to 20 Gbps. Configure LAG membership before you enable the LAG.
