IGMP Query
IGMP Query
Use this page to configure the IGMP Query feature. Since the
RocketLinx ES7528 can only be configured by member ports of the
management VLAN, the IGMP Query can only be enabled on the
management VLAN. If you want to run IGMP Snooping feature in
several VLANs, first check to see whether each VLAN has its own
IGMP Querier.
The IGMP querier periodically sends query packets to all end-stations
on the LANs or VLANs that are connected to it. For networks with more
than one IGMP querier, a switch with the lowest IP address becomes the
IGMP querier.
Unknown Multicast
This page allows you to decide how to forward the unknown multicast traffic. After enabling
IGMP Snooping, the known multicast can be filtered by IGMP Snooping mechanism and
forwarded to the member ports of known multicast groups. The other multicast streams that are
not learnt is a so-called unknown multicast, the switch decides how to forward them based on the
setting of this page.
