Figure 5.18 – IGMP Snooping Configuration
Function name:
IGMP Snooping Status
Function description:
IGMP is used to snoop the status of IP multicast groups and display its associated information in
both tagged VLAN and non-tagged VLAN networks. By enabling IGMP, you can monitor the IGMP
snooping information, which contains the multicast member list with the multicast groups, VID and
member port.
Parameter description:
IGMP snooping mode selection:
The switch supports three kinds of IGMP Snooping status:
Disable:
Use
Disable
mode to disable IGMP Snooping function.
Default:
Disable
Active:
In
Active
mode, IGMP snooping will periodically issue the Membership Query message
to all hosts attached to it and gather the Membership report message to update the
database of the Multicast table. This reduces the unnecessary multicast traffic.
Passive:
In
Passive
mode, IGMP snooping will not periodically poll the hosts in the groups. The
switch will send a Membership Query message to all hosts only when it has received a
Membership Query message from a router.
IP Address:
Displays multicast group IP addresses that are registered on this device.
VLAN ID:
