Manage IGMPv3 IP Header Validation

You can enable IGMPv3 IP header validation so that the switch inspects whether IGMPv3 packets conform
to the IGMPv3 standard. By default, IGMPv3 IP header validation is disabled. If IGMPv3 IP header validation
is enabled, IGMPv3 messages must include a time-to-live (TTL) value of 1 and a ToS byte of 0xC0
(Internetwork Control). In addition, the router alert IP option (9404) must be set.
Note If IGMPv3 IP header validation is enabled, switch does not drop IGMPv1 and IGMPv2
traffic but processes this traffic normally.
To manage IGMPv3 IP header validation:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
