Static Router Ports Entry - D-Link DES-3250TG User Manual

Static Router Ports Entry

A static router port is a port that has a multicast router attached to it. Generally, this router would have a connection to a WAN
or to the Internet. Establishing a router port will allow multicast packets coming from the router to be propagated through the
network, as well as allowing multicast messages (IGMP) coming from the network to be propagated to the router.
A router port has the following behavior:
•
All IGMP Report packets will be forwarded to the router port.
•
IGMP queries (from the router port) will be flooded to all ports.
•
All UDP multicast packets will be forwarded to the router port. Because routers do not send IGMP reports or
implement IGMP snooping, a multicast router connected to the router port of the Layer 2 switch would not be able to
receive UDP data streams unless the UDP multicast packets were all forwarded to the router port.

message from a host, and the switch
issuing a group membership query. If the

the group membership query before the
