CONFIGURING IGMP
FILTERING
In certain switch applications, the administrator may want to control the
multicast services that are available to end users; for example, an IP/TV
service based on a specific subscription plan. The IGMP filtering feature
fulfills this requirement by denying access to specified multicast services
on a switch port.
PARAMETERS
The following parameters are displayed on the IGMP Snooping Port Group
Filtering Configuration page:
◆ Port – Port identifier. (Range: 1-28)
◆ Filtering Groups – Multicast groups that are denied on a port. When
filter groups are defined, IGMP join reports received on a port are
checked against the these groups. If a requested multicast group is
denied, the IGMP join report is dropped.
