5.10.2.4 Overriding an IGMP Snooping Configuration

Overriding the Network Configuration
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol used for managing members of IP multicast groups.
The access point listens to IGMP network traffic and forwards the IGMP multicast packets to radios on which the
interested hosts are connected. On the wired side of the network, the access point floods all the wired interfaces.
This feature reduces unnecessary flooding of multicast traffic in the network.
To define an IGMP snooping supported configuration for the profile or set overrides to the profile configuration:
1. Select Devices
2. Select a target device from the Device Browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI
3. Select Profile Overrides
