IGMP for IPv4 multicast routing

You can configure the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) settings and view
the IGMP statistics.

IGMP snooping lets the switch forward multicast traffic intelligently. Based on the IGMP
query and report messages, the switch forwards traffic only to the ports that request
the multicast traffic, rather than to all ports.

IGMP snooping helps to optimize multicast performance and is especially useful for
bandwidth-intensive IP multicast applications such as online media streaming.

Enable or disable IGMP for the switch

You can globally enable or disable IGMP for the switch.

To configure global IGMP settings for the switch:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser
on page 27 and the subsections.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.
