IBM BladeCenter - Setup IEEE 802.1 Q Multicast Settings

Querier State: <Non-Querier>
This field can be toggled among Non-Querier, V1-Querier, and
V2-Querier. This is used to specify the IGMP version (1 or 2) that will be
used by the IGMP interface when making queries.
Robustness Variable: [2]
A tuning variable to allow for sub-networks that are expected to lose a large
number of packets. You can enter a value between 1 and 255, with larger
values being specified for sub-networks that are expected to lose larger
numbers of packets.
Query Interval: [125]
Enables the entry of a value between 1 and 65500 seconds, with a default
of 125 seconds. This specifies the length of time between sending IGMP
queries.
Max Response: [10]
Sets the maximum amount of time available before sending an IGMP
response report. You can enter a value between 1 and 25 seconds, with a
default of 10 seconds.
Age Out
The time out function is fixed at 260 seconds.
Setup IEEE 802.1q Multicast Settings
To edit the IEEE 802.1q multicast settings, highlight Setup IEEE 802.1q Multicast
Settings on the Multicasting Menu to access the following window:
The Action field can be toggled between Add/Modify and Delete using the
Spacebar. To add a new entry to the multicast forwarding table, select Add/Modify
and enter the VLAN ID number of the VLAN that will be receiving the multicast
packets in the VID field. Enter the MAC address of the multicast source in the
Multicast MAC Address field, and then enter the member ports. Each port can be
Egress or a non-member of the multicast group, on a per-VLAN basis.
To set a port multicast group membership status, highlight the first field of (E/-).
Each port multicast group membership can be set individually by highlighting the
port entry using the arrow keys, and then toggling between E and - using the
Spacebar.
E (Egress Member)
Specifies the port as being a static member of the multicast group. Egress
member ports are ports that will be transmitting traffic for the multicast
group.
