Figure 327: Showing the Groups Assigned to an IGMP Filtering Profile
Use the Multicast > IGMP Snooping > Filter (Configure Interface) page to assign and
IGMP filter profile to interfaces on the switch, or to throttle multicast traffic by
limiting the maximum number of multicast groups an interface can join at the
same time.
Command Usage
◆
IGMP throttling sets a maximum number of multicast groups that a port can
join at the same time. When the maximum number of groups is reached on a
port, the switch can take one of two actions; either "deny" or "replace. " If the
action is set to deny, any new IGMP join reports will be dropped. If the action is
set to replace, the switch randomly removes an existing group and replaces it
with the new multicast group.
