Igmp Interface Configuration - D-Link DES-3326SRM - Switch - Stackable Product Manual

IGMP Interface Configuration

IGMP for IP interfaces function the same way they do for individual ports or VLANs in Layer 2. Most of the parameters are
the same as well, except instead of configuring for VLANs you are setting up IGMP for different subnets (IP interfaces).
To configure an IGMP Interface on the switch, click on the IGMP Interface Configuration link under the IP Multicast Routing
Protocols folder:
The Internet Group Multicasting Protocol (IGMP) can be configured on the switch on a per-IP interface basis. Each IP
interface configured on the switch is displayed in the above IGMP Interface Configuration dialog box. To configure IGMP
for a particular interface, click the corresponding click-box for that IP interface and click the Edit button. This will open the
following dialog box:
This dialog box allows the configuration of IGMP for each IP interface configured on the switch. IGMP can be configured as
Version 1 or 2 by toggling the Version field using the pull-down menu. The length of time between queries can be varied by
entering a value between 1 and 65,500 seconds in the Query Interval field. The maximum length of time between the receipt
of a query and the sending of an IGMP response report can be varied by entering a value in the Max Response Time field.

NOTE: The Robustness Variable field allows IGMP to be 'tuned' for sub-
networks that are expected to lose many packets. A high value (max. 255)
for the robustness variable will help compensate for 'lossy' sub-networks.
A low value (min. 2) should be used for less 'lossy' sub-networks.
