Chapter 7 Multicast Interface
7.1 MCAST Configuration
In the MCAST Configuration tab of "My Network", IGMP snooping and MLD features can be enabled or
disabled. Also, IGMP multicast IP addresses ranges which the G.hn PLC network will sniff; can be configured.
• Multicast Snooping Type: choose from IGMP snooping, MLD snooping or None.
• IGMP/MLD broadcast report (allowed): set to NO for enabling reports dropping until the video
source is detected, this is a recommended setting when IGMP/MLD is enabled. Set to YES for
broadcasting reports until the video source is detected; this implies the multicast video stream is sent
as broadcast and it is the recommended state when IGMP/MLD is disabled.
IGMP Multicast ranges configuration: 4 multicast IP address ranges can be configured defining the
minimum and maximum IP addresses of each range. Only multicast traffic within these ranges will be
processed.
