Manage Multicast

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. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping

allows the switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently. Based on the IGMP query and report messages,

the switch forwards traffic only to the ports that request the multicast traffic rather than to all ports, which

could affect network performance.

IGMP snooping helps to optimize multicast performance and is especially useful for bandwidth-intensive IP

multicast applications such as online media streaming applications.
