Router Port
A static Router Port is a port that has a multicast router attached
to it. Generally, this router would have a connection to a WAN or
to the Internet. Establishing a router port will allow multicast
packets coming from the router to be propagated through the
network, as well as allowing multicast messages (IGMP) coming
from the network to be propagated to the router.
The switch monitors each port for the UDP multicast packets and
IGMP multicast group membership reports. When these packets
are detected on a port, that port is dynamically assigned as a
router port.
To view the Router Port Page click the IGMP Snooping Folder and
then the IGMP Snooping Config. Subfolder.
Figure 6-61. Router Port Table Page
The table lists the VLAN ID and the Port List column displays the
ports on the switch that are associated with that VLAN ID and
have a multicast router attached to them.
