multicast messages (IGMP) coming from the network to be
propagated to the router.
A router port has the following behavior:
• All IGMP Report packets will be forwarded to the
router port.
• IGMP queries (from the router port) will be flooded to
all ports.
• All UDP multicast packets will be forwarded to the
router port. Because routers do not send IGMP
reports or implement IGMP snooping, a multicast
router connected to the router port of the Layer 3
switch would not be able to receive UDP data
streams unless the UDP multicast packets were all
forwarded to the router port.
• A router port will be dynamically configured when
IGMP query packets, RIPv2 multicast, DVMRP
multicast, PIM-DM multicast packets are detected
flowing into a port.
To setup a static router port, highlight Static Router Port
Settings from the Multicasting Menu and press enter.
