CONFIGURING IGMP
FILTERING
Use the IGMP Snooping Port Group Filtering Configuration page to filter
specific multicast traffic. 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.
