5.2 SWITCH CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Some switches will work directly out of the box with zero configuration required. Nearly all switches will provide the user
some ability to customize the configuration. The list below includes various switch configuration options that Black Box has
encountered. Look for these or similar options when configuring your switch.
1. Enable IGMP Snooping
a. Must be enabled
2. Enable IGMP Snooping on VLAN used by the encoder
a. Must be enabled when all ports default to VLAN1
3. Filter/drop unregistered multicast traffic
a. If not applied, the behavior of the switch will be to broadcast multicast packets if the switch has no known destination for that
packet.
b. Must be enabled if found
4. Unregistered Multicast Flooding
a.Must be disabled if found
