possible confusion caused by the term ' router port' when
compared to a traditional router.
A static router port is a port that has a multicast supported

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 coming from the network to be propagated to the
router.
The purpose of a router port is to enable UDP multicast packets,
and IGMP multicast group membership messages to reach a
multicast router attached to the switch.

packets. Thus, forwarding all IP UDP multicast packets to a
static router port on the DES-3326 guarantees that all multicast
routers – attached to the DES-3326 – can reach all multicast
group members.
To setup a static router port, highlight Static Router Port
Settings from the Multicasting Menu and press enter.
