Using the BayStack 350 10/100/1000 Series Switch

As shown in Figure 1-26, a non-IP Multicast filtering switch causes IP Multicast
traffic to be sent to all segments on the local subnet.
Figure 1-26. IP Multicast Propagation with IGMP Routing
The BayStack 350 switch can automatically set up IP Multicast filters so the IP
Multicast traffic is only directed to the participating end nodes (see Figure 1-27
).
In Figure 1-27
, switches S1 to S4 represent a LAN connected to an IP Multicast
router. The router periodically sends Host Membership Queries to the LAN and
listens for a response from end stations. All of the clients connected to switches
S1 to S4 are aware of the queries from the router.
