21.4 IGMP Filtering Profile
IGMP filter profiles allow you to control access to IGMP multicast groups. This allows you to
have a service available to a specific IGMP multicast group. You can configure an IGMP filter
profile for an IGMP multicast group that has access to a service (like a SIP server for
example). Within a profile, configure an IGMP filter to specify the multicast IP address
ranges. Then assign the IGMP filter profile to the ports (in the Multicast screen) that are
allowed to use the service.
Click Advanced Application and Multicast in the navigation panel. Click the IGMP
Filtering Profile link to display the screen as shown.

Mode
This field is applicable on the Ethernet ports.
The switch treats an IGMP query port as being connected to an IGMP multicast
router (or server). The switch forwards IGMP join or leave packets to an IGMP
query port.
Select Auto to have the switch use the port as an IGMP query port if the port
receives IGMP query packets.
Select Fixed to have the switch always use the port as an IGMP query port. Select
this when you connect an IGMP multicast server to the port.
Select Edge to stop the switch from using the port as an IGMP query port. The
switch will not keep any record of an IGMP router being connected to this port.
The switch does not forward IGMP join or leave packets to this port.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the switch.
