24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE

Multicast Tab - Static Member Ports

Multicast filtering can be dynamically configured using IGMP Snooping and IGMP Query messages. For certain
applications that require tighter control, you may need to statically configure a multicast service on the Switch.
First add all the ports attached to participating hosts to a common VLAN, and then assign the multicast service to
that VLAN group.
Specify the interface attached to a multicast service (via an IGMP-enabled switch or multicast router), indicate
the VLAN that will propagate the multicast service, specify the multicast IP address, and click Add.

Depending on your network connections, IGMP snooping may not always be able to locate the IGMP querier.
Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a known multicast router/ switch connected over the network to an interface
(port or lag) on the Switch, you can manually configure the interface (and a specified VLAN) to join all the current
multicast groups supported by the attached router. This can ensure that multicast traffic is passed to all the
appropriate interfaces within the Switch.
Specify the interfaces attached to a multicast router, indicate the VLAN which will forward all the corresponding
multicast traffic, and then click Add.
