Enabling Multicast Filtering
Use the serial console or Web interface to enable or disable IGMP Snooping and IGMP querying.
If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, then IP multicast traffic is always forwarded, flooding the
network.
Configuring IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it travels only to those end
destinations that require that traffic, thereby reducing the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN.
