Multicast Vlan - TP-Link TL-SL5428E User Manual

320307" Ownvkecuv"XNCP"
In old multicast transmission mode, when users in different VLANs apply for join the same
multicast group, the multicast router will duplicate this multicast information and deliver each
VLAN owning a receiver one copy. This mode wastes a lot of bandwidth.
The problem above can be solved by configuring a multicast VLAN. By adding switch ports to the
multicast VLAN and enabling IGMP Snooping, you can make users in different VLANs share the
same multicast VLAN. This saves the bandwidth since multicast streams are transmitted only
within the multicast VLAN and also guarantees security because the multicast VLAN is isolated
from user VLANS.
Before configuring a multicast VLAN, you should firstly configure a VLAN as multicast VLAN and
add the corresponding ports to the VLAN on the :2403S" XNCP page. If the multicast VLAN is
enabled, the multicast configuration for other VLANs on the XNCP"Eqphki page will be invalid, that
is, the multicast streams will be transmitted only within the multicast VLAN.

Figure 10-9 Multicast VLAN
Enable/Disable Multicast VLAN feature.
Enter the VLAN ID of the multicast VLAN.
Specify the aging time of the router port. Within this time, if the
switch doesn't receive IGMP query message from the router port,
it will consider this port is not a router port any more.
Specify the aging time of the member port. Within this time, if the
switch doesn't receive IGMP report message from the member
port, it will consider this port is not a member port any more.
Specify the interval between the switch receiving a leave message
from a host, and the switch removing the host from the multicast
groups.
