Use the Multicast > IGMP Snooping > Multicast Router (Add) page to

statically attach an interface to a multicast router/switch.

Depending on 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

trunk) on the switch, the interface (and a specified VLAN) can be manually

configured 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.

"Static Multicast Routing" on page 1028

IGMP Snooping must be enabled globally on the switch (see

IGMP Snooping and Query Parameters" on page

These parameters are displayed:

VLAN – Selects the VLAN which is to propagate all multicast traffic

coming from the attached multicast router. (Range: 1-4093)

Interface – Activates the Port or Trunk scroll down list.

Port or Trunk – Specifies the interface attached to a multicast router.

To specify a static interface attached to a multicast router:

Click Multicast, IGMP Snooping, Multicast Router.

Select Add Static Multicast Router from the Action list.

Select the VLAN which will forward all the corresponding multicast

traffic, and select the port or trunk attached to the multicast router.

Click Apply.
