Parameter Description
IGMP Status If enabled, the switch will monitor network traffic to determine
which hosts want to receive multicast traffic.
Act as IGMP Querier If enabled, the switch can serve as the “querier,” which is
responsible for asking hosts if they want to receive multicast
traffic.
IGMP Query Count The maximum number of queries issued for which there has been
no response before the switch takes action to solicit reports.
(Range: 2 - 10.)
IGMP Report Delay The time (in seconds) between receiving an IGMP Report for an
IP multicast address on a port before the switch sends an IGMP
Query out of that port and removes the entry from its list.
(Range: 5 - 30.)
