Step 6
If you want to enable IGMP snooping, check the
Enable IGMP Snooping
check box. If you want to
disable IGMP snooping, leave the check box unchecked. The default value is disabled.
Step 7
To set the IGMP timeout, enter a value between 30 and 300 seconds in the
IGMP Timeout
field. The
controller sends three queries in one timeout value at an interval of
timeout
/3 to see if any clients exist
for a particular multicast group. If the controller does not receive a response through an IGMP report
from the client, the controller times out the client entry from the MGID table. When no clients are left
for a particular multicast group, the controller waits for the IGMP timeout value to expire and then
deletes the MGID entry from the controller. The controller always generates a general IGMP query (that
is, to destination address 224.0.0.1) and sends it on all WLANs with an MGID value of 1.
