Hosts only receive dedicated traffic from other hosts belonging to the same group.
Multicast Filtering and Moxa PowerTrans Switch
The PT-7828 has three ways to achieve multicast filtering: IGMP (Internet Group Management
Protocol) Snooping, GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol), and adding a static multicast
MAC manually to filter multicast traffic automatically.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)
Snooping Mode
Snooping Mode allows your switch to forward multicast packets only to the appropriate ports. The
switch
snoops
on exchanges between hosts and an IGMP device, such as a router, to find those
ports that want to join a multicast group, and then configures its filters accordingly.
