22.5 IGMP Filtering Profile
An IGMP filtering profile specifies a range of multicast groups that clients connected to the
Switch are able to join. A profile contains a range of multicast IP addresses which you want
clients to be able to join. Profiles are assigned to ports (in the Multicast Setting screen).
Clients connected to those ports are then able to join the multicast groups specified in the
profile. Each port can be assigned a single profile. A profile can be assigned to multiple ports.
