IGMP Snooping
In order to use IGMP Snooping it must first be enabled for the entire Switch (see
Advanced Settings
). You may then fine-
tune the settings for each VLAN using the
IGMP Snooping Settings
window. When enabled for IGMP snooping, the
Switch can open or close a port to a specific Multicast group member based on IGMP messages sent from the device to the
IGMP host or vice versa. The Switch monitors IGMP messages and discontinues forwarding multicast packets when there
are no longer hosts requesting that they continue.
