Model 3324 User Guide
IP manages multicast traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP allows
the ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.
IGMP have three fundamental types of message as follows:
Message
Query
A message sent from the querier (IGMP router or switch) asking for a response
from each host belonging to the multicast group.
Report
A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host wants to be or is a
member of a given group indicated in the report message.
Leave Group A message sent by a host to the querier to indicate that the host has quit to be a m
ember of a specific multicast group.
Static MAC Address
When you add a static MAC address, it will remain in the switch's address table, regardless of whether the
device is physically connected to the switch or not. This saves the switch from having to re-learn a device's
MAC address in cases where a device may have been powered off or disconnected from the network.
