Packets and Multicast
Data

configure an interface to drop IGMP query packets or multicast data packets.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:

being forwarded to users attached to the downstream port (i.e., the interfaces
specified by this command).

1. Click Multicast, IGMP Snooping, Interface.
2. Select Configure Interface from the Action list.
3. Select Port or Trunk interface.
