Configuration > IGMP Snooping
With Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping, the
Web-Smart Switch can make intelligent multicast forwarding
decisions by examining the contents of each frame’s Layer 2 MAC
header.
IGMP snooping can help reduce cluttered traffic on the LAN. With
IGMP snooping enabled globally, the Web-Smart Switch will forward
