Multicast Group Membership screen
The Multicast Group Membership screen allows you to view configured IP
Multicast group addresses for specific VLANs. The screen displays the IP
Multicast group addresses associated with ports that are configured within a
standalone switch or a stack of switches. The displayed addresses are dynamic
and can change as clients join (or leave) the various IP Multicast groups.
To open the Multicast Group Membership screen:
➨
Choose Display Multicast Group Membership (or press d) from the IGMP
Configuration Menu screen.
Static Router Ports Allows a user to assign switch ports to any port that has a path to a multicast router.
When the unit is part of a stack configuration, the screen displays the unit numbers
of the switches configured in the stack, along with the corresponding ports.
The configured ports do not filter any IP Multicast traffic. The Static Router Ports
fields are displayed in six-port groups (for example, 1-6, 7-12, 13-18). The number
of ports displayed depends on the switch model or type of optional MDA that is
installed in the Uplink Module slot.
This field affects all VLANs (for example, if you assign a port as a static router port in
this screen, the port becomes a static router port for the VLAN specified in the
screen’s VLAN field, and also for any other VLAN where this port is a member).
