IGMP Operating Features

In the factory default configuration, IGMP is disabled. If multiple VLANs are 
not configured, you must configure IGMP on the default VLAN 
(DEFAULT_VLAN; VID = 1). If multiple VLANs are configured, you must 
configure IGMP on a per-VLAN basis. When you use either the CLI or the web 
browser interface to enable IGMP on the switch or a VLAN, the switch 
forwards IGMP traffic only to ports belonging to multicast groups. Using the 
console enables these additional options:

■

Forward with High Priority.

 Disabling this parameter (the default) 

causes the switch or VLAN to process IP multicast traffic, along with other 
traffic, in the order received (normal priority). Enabling this parameter 
causes the switch or VLAN to give a higher priority to IP multicast traffic 
than to other traffic.

■

Auto/Blocked/Forward:

 You can use the console to configure individual 

ports  to any of the following states:

•

Auto

 (the default): Causes the switch to interpret IGMP packets and 

to filter IP multicast traffic based on the IGMP packet information for 
ports belonging to a multicast group. This means that IGMP traffic 
will be forwarded on a specific port only if an IGMP host or multicast 
router is connected to the port. 

•

Blocked:

 Causes the switch to drop all IGMP transmissions received 

from a specific port and to block all outgoing IP Multicast packets for 
that port. This has the effect of preventing IGMP traffic from moving 
through specific ports.

•

Forward:

 Causes the switch to forward all IGMP and IP multicast 

transmissions through the port.

■

Querier:

 In the default state (enabled), eliminates the need for a multicast 

router. In most cases, SMC recommends that you leave this parameter in 
the default “enabled” state even if you have a multicast router performing 
the querier function in your multicast group.

N o t e

Whenever IGMP is enabled, the switch generates an Event Log message 
indicating whether querier functionality is enabled.

IGMP Operation With or Without IP Addressing

IGMP operation on the SMC6624M switch does not require an IP address and 
subnet mask for each VLAN running IGMP. You can configure IGMP on VLANs 
that do not have IP addressing. The benefit of IGMP without IP addressing is 
a reduction in the number of IP addresses you have to use and configure. This 
can be significant in a network with a large number of VLANs. The limitation
