22.4 IGMP Filtering Profile
IGMP filter profiles allow you to control access to IGMP multicast groups. This allows you to have a service
available to a specific IGMP multicast group. You can configure an IGMP filter profile for an IGMP multicast
group that has access to a service (like a SIP server for example). Within a profile, configure an IGMP filter to
specify the multicast IP address ranges. Then assign the IGMP filter profile to the ports (in the Multicast Setting
screen) that are allowed to use the service.
Click Advanced Applications and Multicast in the navigation panel. Click the Multicast Setting link and then the
IGMP Filtering Profile link to display the screen as shown.
