Parameter Description
VLAN Name
Click this button and enter the VLAN to be configured (or use the VID List).
VID List
Click this button and enter the VID List to be configured (or use the VLAN Name).
State
Enable or disable data driven learning of IGMP snooping groups.
Age Out
Enable or disable aging on this entry.
Max Learned Entry (1-256)
Enter the maximum number of groups that can be learned by the data driven
method. The default value is
56
entries.
ISM VLAN Settings
In a switching environment, multiple VLANs may exist. Every time a multicast query passes through the Switch, the switch must
forward separate different copies of the data to each VLAN on the system, which, in turn, increases data traffic and may clog up
the traffic path. To lighten the traffic load, multicast VLANs may be incorporated. These multicast VLANs will allow the Switch
to forward this multicast traffic as one copy to recipients of the multicast VLAN, instead of multiple copies.
Regardless of other normal VLANs that are incorporated on the Switch, users may add any ports to the multicast VLAN where
they wish multicast traffic to be sent. Users are to set up a source port, where the multicast traffic is entering the switch, and then
set the ports where the incoming multicast traffic is to be sent. The source port cannot be a recipient port and if configured to do
so, will cause error messages to be produced by the switch. Once properly configured, the stream of multicast data will be relayed
to the receiver ports in a much more timely and reliable fashion.
Restrictions and Provisos
The Multicast VLAN feature of this Switch does have some restrictions and limitations, such as:
1.
Multicast VLANs can be implemented on edge and non-edge switches.
2.
Member ports and source ports can be used in multiple ISM VLANs. But member ports and source ports cannot be the
same port in a specific ISM VLAN.
3.
The Multicast VLAN is exclusive with normal 802.1q VLANs, which means that VLAN IDs (VIDs) and VLAN Names
of 802.1q VLANs and ISM VLANs cannot be the same. Once a VID or VLAN Name is chosen for any VLAN, it cannot
be used for any other VLAN.
4.
The normal display of configured VLANs will not display configured Multicast VLANs.
5.
Once an ISM VLAN is enabled, the corresponding IGMP snooping state of this VLAN will also be enabled. Users
cannot disable the IGMP feature for an enabled ISM VLAN.
6.
One IP multicast address cannot be added to multiple ISM VLANs, yet multiple Ranges can be added to one ISM VLAN.
Users can create and configure multicast VLANs for the Switch.
