IGMP Static Group
Adding an IGMP Static Group:
For tighter control you can configure a multicast service on the Managed Switch.
You will need to add all the ports connected to the hosts to a common VLAN and
then assign the multicast service to that VLAN group.
•
Static multicast addresses are never aged out.
•
When a multicast address is assigned to an interface in a specific VLAN, the
corresponding traffic can only be forwarded to ports within that VLAN.
