Group Address - Edimax ECS1100 Series Web Management Manual

Group Address

Use the IGMP > Group Address page to statically assign a multicast service to a
port on the switch.
Usage Guidelines
Multicast filtering can be dynamically configured using IGMP Snooping, but in

some cases it may be necessary 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.
Static multicast addresses are never aged out.

When a multicast address is assigned to a port in a specific VLAN, the

corresponding traffic can only be forwarded to ports within that VLAN.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Port — Specifies the ports assigned to a multicast group.

VLANs — Specifies the VLAN which is to propagate the multicast service.

(Range: 1-4094)
Group Address — The IPv4 address for a specific multicast service.

