Use the local browser interface to customize IGMP
snooping
By default, IGMP snooping is enabled. You can customize the settings for your network.
To customize IGMP snooping:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch using a web
browser on page 17.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the password field.
The switch's default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select System > Multicast.
6. Make sure that the IGMP Snooping Status Enable radio button is selected.
By default, the Enable radio button is selected.
7. (Optional) Select the Validate IGMPv3 IP Header Enable radio button.
Some network devices might not conform to the IGMPv3 standard. When the Validate
IGMPv3 IP Header option is enabled, IGMP messages are required to include TTL = 1,
ToS Byte = 0xC0 (Internetwork Control), and the router alert IP option (9404) must be set.
Otherwise, the packets are ignored.
8. (Optional) Select the Block Unknown MultiCast Address Enable radio button.
When this feature is enabled, multicast packets are forwarded only to the ports that are in
the multicast group learned from IGMP snooping. All unknown multicast packets are
dropped.
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
