Advanced > Enable/Disable IGMP
In networks where multimedia applications generate multicast traffic, IGMP can greatly reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage by limiting traffic
forwarding that is otherwise broadcast to the whole network. Enabling IGMP will allow individual ports to detect IGMP queries, report packets, and
manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.
