Multicast Filtering
3-297
3
Once you have configured IGMP profiles, you can assign them to interfaces on the
switch. Also you can set the IGMP throttling number to limit the number of multicast
groups an interface can join at the same time.
Command Usage
• Only one profile can be assigned to an interface.
• An IGMP profile or throttling setting can also be applied to a trunk interface. When
ports are configured as trunk members, the trunk uses the settings applied to the
first port member in the trunk.
• IGMP throttling sets a maximum number of multicast groups that a port can join at
the same time. When the maximum number of groups is reached on a port, the
switch can take one of two actions; either “deny” or “replace”. If the action is set to
deny, any new IGMP join reports will be dropped. If the action is set to replace, the
switch randomly removes an existing group and replaces it with the new multicast
group.
