Multicast Routing

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is an IP routing protocol used by

IP hosts to manage their dynamic multicast group memberships on a given

network. This protocol allows a host to inform its local router that it wants to

receive messages addressed to a specific multicast group. The SLM-5650A

modem/router can be configured to perform IGMP multicast routing functions

when required by a given network.
If this SLM-5650A is in a network that utilizes multicast routing, click on the

IGMP submenu item that appears under Routing (except for Expansion units)

to access and configure the IGMP parameters for this unit, as shown in

figure 3-45.
