5.3.5.4 IGMP Snooping
The
Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) is a protocol used for managing members of IP multicast groups.
The access point listens to IGMP network traffic and forwards the IGMP multicast packets to radios on which the
interested hosts are connected. On the wired side of the network, the access point floods all the wired interfaces.
This feature reduces unnecessary flooding of multicast traffic in the network.
To define an IGMP snooping supported configuration for the profile:
1. Select the
Configuration
tab from the Web UI.
2. Select
Devices
.
3. Select
System Profile
from the options on left-hand side of the UI.
4. Expand the
Network
menu and select
IGMP Snooping
.
