ProSAFE Gigabit Web Managed (Plus) Switches Manage Multicast Traffic With IGMP Snooping Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping allows a switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently on the switch. Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Based on the IGMP query and report messages, the switch forwards traffic only to the ports that request the multicast traffic.
ProSAFE Gigabit Web Managed (Plus) Switches 6. Make sure that the IGMP Snooping Status Enable radio button is selected. By default, the Enable radio button is selected. 7.
