Configuring IGMP
This protocol allows a host to inform its local switch/router that it
wants to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast
group. You can use the IGMP Configuration screen to configure
multicast filtering shown below.
Note: The default values are indicated in the sample screen.

Parameter Description
IGMP Status If enabled, the switch will monitor network traffic
to determine which hosts want to receive
multicast traffic. This is also referred to as IGMP
Snooping.
Act as IGMP Querier If enabled, the switch can serve as the “querier,”
which is responsible for asking hosts is they want
to receive multicast traffic. (Not available for the
current firmware release.)
IGMP Query Count The maximum number of queries issued for
which there has been no response before the
switch takes action to solicit reports.
IGMP Report Delay The time (in minutes) between receiving an IGMP
Report for an IP multicast address on a port
before the switch sends an IGMP Query out that
port and removes the entry from its list.
