Figure 6-26. IEEE 802.1Q IGMP Configuration screen
Items in the above screen are defined as follows:
♦ VLAN ID This is the VID number for the VLAN that has an agent attached to it which enables IGMP packets to be
sent and received.
♦ Age-out Timer If no IGMP query packet has arrived at the Switch before this timer has expired, the Switch will
become the IGMP host for this VLAN.
♦ IGMP Status Activates/deactivates the agent on this VLAN.
Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains
If you are unsure about your knowledge of VLANs and broadcast domains, please review the VLANs and Broadcast
Domains section in the “Switch Management Concepts” chapter of this manual before configuring the switch.
The VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu displays the status of the current VLAN
mode and allows a user to restart the Switch in a particular VLAN mode – Port-Based VLANs, IEEE 802.1Q VLANs,
or MAC-based Broadcast Domains – or to choose None. There are four different versions of the VLANs & MAC-
based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu, depending on which of the options you select under the Restart
Mode (three of the four are displayed and explained below—the menu for None is omitted as it does not contain additional
menu items at the bottom of the screen). Please note that the Switch can only support a single type of mode at any given
time.
To view the VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains Configuration menu for MAC-based Broadcast
Domains:
1. Choose Configure VLANs & MAC-based Broadcast Domains on the Configuration menu.
