Multicast
24.1 Multicast Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure various multicast features.
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways
–
Unicast (one sender to one recipient)
or Broadcast (one sender to everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to just a group of
hosts on the network.
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership
in a multicast group
–
it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 1112, RFC 2236 and RFC 3376 for
information on IGMP versions 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
24.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the
Multicast Setup
screen (
) to display the links to the configuration
screens where you can configure IPv4 multicast settings.
• Use the
IPv4 Multicast Status
screen (
) to view IPv4 multicast group
information.
• Use the
IGMP Snooping
screen (
) to enable IGMP snooping to forward
group multicast traffic only to ports that are members of that group.
• Use the
IGMP Snooping VLAN
screen (
) to perform IGMP snooping on up to
16 VLANs.
• Use the
IGMP Filtering Profile
(
) to specify a range of multicast groups that
clients connected to the Switch are able to join.
• Use the
IPv6 Multicast Status
screen (
) to view IPv6 multicast group
information.
• Use the
MLD Snooping-proxy
screen (
) to enable the upstream port to
report group changes to a connected multicast router and forward MLD messages to other upstream
ports.
• Use the
MVR
screens (
) to create multicast VLANs and select the receiver
ports and a source port for each multicast VLAN.
