IGMP
This chapter shows you how to configure IGMP.
26.1 Overview
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish
membership in a multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 1112 and RFC
2236 for information on IGMP versions 1 and 2 respectively.
The switch supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up,
the switch queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the
switch periodically updates this information.

Click IP Application, IGMP in the navigation panel to display the screen as shown next.
Each entry in the table is automatically created when you configure a new IP domain in the IP
Setup screen (refer to
