Configuring IGMP Snooping
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping allows the GbE Interconnect Switch
to recognize IGMP queries and reports sent between network stations or devices and an
IGMP host. When enabled for IGMP Snooping, the GbE Interconnect Switch can open or
close a port to a specific device based on IGMP messages passing through the GbE
Interconnect Switch.
To configure IGMP Snooping:
1. Highlight Configure IGMP Snooping on the Configuration menu.
2. Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.
The IGMP Snooping Settings screen allows you to set the following:
— Switch IGMP Snooping—Toggle using the spacebar between Disabled and
Enabled. This setting is used to enable or disable IGMP Snooping globally on the
GbE Interconnect Switch.
— Action—Toggle to the option you want, Add/Modify or Delete.
— Querier State—Toggle between Non-Querier, V1-Querier, and V2-Querier. This
setting is used to specify the IGMP version (1 or 2) that is used by the IGMP
interface when making queries.
— Robustness Variable—Enter a value between 2 and 255, with larger values being
specified for subnetworks that are expected to lose larger numbers of packets. This
option is a tuning variable to allow for subnetworks that are expected to lose a large
number of packets.
