IGMP Configuration
If you click
Advanced
in the top navigation menu and then select the
IGMP Configuration
link, the following
screen will appear. This screen allows you to configure IGMP LAN Proxy configuration settings in your Router.
The Router supports
IGMP
multicasting, which allows hosts connected to a network to be updated whenever an
important change occurs in the network. A multicast is simply a message that is sent simultaneously to a predefined
group of recipients. Each member of the multicast group will receive all messages addressed to the group.
IGMP proxy enables multicast packets to be routed according to the IGMP requests of local network devices
requesting to join multicast groups. To enable IGMP Proxy, click the adjacent check box, a check mark will appear
in the box. Next, enter the appropriate values in the fields provided and click
Apply
to save the settings.
