Configure a Multicast Router

You can configure the interface as the one the multicast router is attached to. All IGMP
packets snooped by the switch are forwarded to the multicast router reachable from this
interface. The configuration is not needed most of the time since the switch automatically
detects the multicast router and forwards IGMP packets accordingly. It is needed only if you
want to make sure that the multicast router always receives IGMP packets from the switch in
a complex network.
