"VLAN ID"drop-down list.
2. Enter the MAC address in the "MAC Address" input box.
3. Click the "Create" button. A new entry is generated in the table.
4. Assign the relevant ports to the MAC address.

All selected entries are deleted and the display is refreshed.
Creating layer 2 multicast addresses with a script and GMRP
If you want to create several layer 2 multicast addresses using a script, GMRP must be
disabled as long as the script is executing. Follow the steps outlined below:
1. If GMRP is enabled, disable it. You configure GMRP on the "Layer 2 > Multicast >
GMRP" page.
2. Run the script.
3. Enable GMRP only after the script has fully completed and the layer 2 multicast
addresses have been created.
5.5.15.2

IGMP

Function
The device supports "IGMP Snooping" and the "IGMP Querier" function. If "IGMP Snooping"
is enabled, IGMP frames (Internet Group Management Protocol) are evaluated and the
multicast filter table is updated with this information. If "IGMP Querier" is also enabled, the
device also sends IGMP queries that trigger responses from IGMP-compliant nodes.
IGMP Snooping Aging Time
In this menu, you can configure the aging time for IGMP Configuration. When the time
elapses, entries created by IGMP are deleted from the address table if they are not updated
by a new IGMP frame.
This applies to all ports; a port-specific configuration is not possible.
