Router Settings
The Router Settings shows the learned multicast router attached port if the port is active and a
member of the VLAN. Select the VLAN ID you would like to configure and enter the Static and
Forbidden ports for the specified VLAN IDs. All IGMP packets snooped by the Switch will be
forwarded to the multicast router reachable from the port.
VLAN ID Displays the VLAN ID.
Dynamic Port List Displays router ports that have been dynamically configured.
Forbidden Port List Designates a range of ports as being disconnected to multicast-
enabled routers. Ensures that the forbidden router port will not
propagate routing packets out.
Static Port list Designates a range of ports as being connected to multicast-
enabled routers. Ensures that all the packets will reach the
multicast-enabled router.

MLD Snooping
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping operates on the IPv6 traffic level for discovering
multicast listeners on a directly attached port and performs a similar function to IGMP Snooping
for IPv4. MLD snooping allows the Switch to examine MLD packets and make forwarding
decisions based on content. MLD Snooping limits IPv6 multicast traffic by dynamically
configuring the Switch port so that multicast traffic is forwarded only to those ports that wish to
receive it. This reduces the flooding of IPv6 multicast packets in the specified VLANs. Both IGMP
and MLD Snooping can be active at the same time.
