DESCRIPTION
This column displays the numbers of the ports belonging to a multicast group and the
port's bonding group ID if it is a member of one. A star (*) displays if the port is the main
port in the bonding group.
This field displays to how many multicast groups this port belongs. In the IPTV application,
a multicast group represents a TV channel. This field shows how many TV channels have
been subscribed to on this port.
This field displays the multicast VLAN ID.
This field displays the multicast group source address and source filtering mode. In IPTV,
the multicast group source address means the address of a media server which provides
media content.
IGMPv3 and MLDv2 supports multicast source filtering.
In INCLUDE mode, the client listens to the specified sources only.
In EXCLUDE mode, the client listens to all sources other than the specified address.
When the Switch receives a multicast packet destined to a configured multicast group and
the packet's source address is in the INCLUDE list or not in the EXCLUDE list, the Switch
forwards the packets to the clients that join this group.
This field displays an IP address which is a member in this multicast group. In IPTV, this
means the IP address of a set-top box connected to this port.
