Static Router Ports
A static router port is a port through which a connection to a multicast-enabled router has been
established. Typically a designated static router port or group of ports is connected directly to such a
router. This option is generally used with legacy routers that are not able to generate host membership
queries. Use of a static router port means the Switch will forward all packets sent through the port(s)
with the multicast-enabled router as the destination. Furthermore the static router port will receive all
multicast data for all VLANs.

To designate a new static router port or to change an existing one, click the Modify button for the
corresponding VLAN ID number. The Static Router Ports Settings menu appears.
