Use the Multicast > IGMP Snooping > Filter (Configure Profile – Add) page to create
an IGMP profile and set its access mode. Then use the (Add Multicast Group Range)
page to configure the multicast groups to filter.
Command Usage
Specify a range of multicast groups by entering a start and end IP address; or
specify a single multicast group by entering the same IP address for the start and
end of the range.

in the controlled range.
