Router Port Settings

A static router port is a port that has a multicast router attached to it. Generally, this router would have a connection to a WAN or
to the Internet. Establishing a router port will allow multicast packets coming from the router to be propagated through the
network, as well as allowing multicast messages (IGMP) coming from the network to be propagated to the router.
A router port has the following behavior:
•
All IGMP Report packets will be forwarded to the router port.
•
IGMP queries (from the router port) will be flooded to all ports.
All UDP multicast packets will be forwarded to the router port. Because routers do not send IGMP reports or implement IGMP
snooping, a multicast router connected to the router port of a Layer 3 switch would not be able to receive UDP data streams unless
the UDP multicast packets were all forwarded to the router port.
A router port will be dynamically configured when IGMP query packets, RIPv2 multicast, DVMRP multicast or PIM-DM
multicast packets are detected flowing into a port.

Description
This is the VLAN ID that, along with the VLAN Name, identifies the VLAN the user
wishes to modify the IGMP Snooping Settings for.
This is the VLAN Name that, along with the VLAN ID, identifies the VLAN the user
wishes to modify the IGMP Snooping Settings for.
The Query Interval field is used to set the time (in seconds) between transmitting
IGMP queries. Entries between 1 and 65535 seconds are allowed. Default = 125.
This determines the maximum amount of time in seconds allowed before sending an
IGMP response report. The Max Response Time field allows an entry between 1 and
25 (seconds). Default = 10.
Adjust this variable according to expected packet loss. If packet loss on the VLAN is
expected to be high, the Robustness Variable should be increased to accommodate
increased packet loss. This entry field allows an entry of 1 to 255. Default = 2.
This field specifies the maximum amount of time between group-specific query
messages, including those sent in response to leave group messages. Default = 1.
This is the maximum amount of time in seconds allowed for a host to continue
membership in a multicast group without the Switch receiving a host membership
report. Default = 260.
This is the maximum amount of time in seconds a route is kept in the forwarding
table without receiving a membership report. Default = 260.
This specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds between the Switch receiving
a leave group message from a host, and the Switch issuing a group membership
query. If no response to the membership query is received before the Leave Timer
expires, the (multicast) forwarding entry for that host is deleted. The default setting is
2 seconds.
Choose Enabled to enable transmitting IGMP Query packets or Disabled to disable.
The default is Disabled.
Select Enabled to implement IGMP Snooping. This field is Disabled by default.
The Fast Leave option may be enabled or disabled (default). This allows an interface
to be pruned without sending group-specific queries.
