PT-7728 User’s Manual Featured Functions
3-54
Static Multicast MAC
Some devices may only support multicast packets, but not support either IGMP Snooping or
GMRP. The PT-7728 supports adding multicast groups manually to enable multicast filtering.
Enabling Multicast Filtering
Use the serial console or Web interface to enable or disable IGMP Snooping and IGMP querying.
If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, then IP multicast traffic is always forwarded, flooding the
network.
Configuring IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it travels only to those end
destinations that require that traffic, thereby reducing the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN.
