4.1 IGMP Snooping
IGMP snooping allows a layer-2 device such as the MES-2110 to eavesdrop on
IGMP-based data packets traversing the communications channel on layer-3. This
allows it to determine which ports should specifically receive multicast traffic in
order to prevent multicasting flooding across all of its ports.
This tutorial shows you how to enable IGMP snooping, set IGMP to automatic
query mode, and then set port 10 to static.
To configure IGMP snooping:
1
In the Web Configurator, open the Configuration > IGMP Menu > IGMP
Configuration screen.
2
Set IGMP Snooping to Enable.
