Configure IGMP Filtering

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) allows multicasting on your network. When IP Multicast
Filtering is Enabled, the Switch can intelligently forward (rather than broadcasting) IGMP queries and
reports sent between devices connected to the Switch and an IGMP-enabled device hosting IGMP on your
network. When enabled for IGMP snooping, the Switch can open or close a port to a specific Multicast group
member based on IGMP messages sent from the device to the IGMP host or vice versa.
Basically, in these submenus you define whether the Switch can intelligently forward IGMP packets, and you
must also define which 802.1Q VLANs (if present) can send and receive IGMP and Multicast packets.
To access the IGMP Configuration screen, choose Configure IGMP Filtering from the Configuration
menu. The follow screen appears:
