Configure an IGMP multicast router VLAN

You can configure a specific VLAN for a specific interface to forward snooped IGMP
packets to the multicast router that is connected to the interface.

In most situations, this configuration is not required because the switch automatically
detects a multicast router and forwards IGMP packets accordingly. This configuration
might be required in a complex network if you want to make sure that the multicast
router always receives IGMP packets from the switch.

To configure a multicast router VLAN:

1. Launch a web browser.

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