• Destination Interface: core
• Destination Network: 239.192.10.0/24
4. Click the Multiplex SAT tab
5. Add interface if1 but leave the IPAddress empty
6. Add interface if2 but this time, enter 237.192.10.0 as the IPAddress

4.7.3. IGMP Configuration

IGMP signaling between hosts and routers can be divided into two categories:
• IGMP Reports
Reports are sent from hosts towards the router when a host wants to subscribe to new
multicast groups or change current multicast subscriptions.
• IGMP Queries
Queries are IGMP messages sent from the router towards the hosts in order to make sure that
it will not close any stream that some host still wants to receive.
Normally, both types of rule have to be specified for IGMP to function but there are two
exceptions:
1. If the multicast source is located on a network directly connected to the router, no query
rule is needed.
2. If a neighboring router is statically configured to deliver a multicast stream to the
NetDefend Firewall, an IGMP query would also not have to be specified.
Note: Replace Allow with NAT for source IP translation
If address translation of the source address is required, the Allow rule following the SAT
Multiplex rule should be replaced with a NAT rule.
