example, 192.168.1.1 (factory default).
Subnet Mask Type the subnet mask of your network in dotted decimal notation, for example 255.255.255.0
(factory default). Your XMG automatically computes the subnet mask based on the IP Address
you enter, so do not change this field unless you are instructed to do so.
IGMP Snooping
Active Select Enable to allows the XMG to passively learn multicast group.
IGMP Select Standard Mode to allow the XMG to forward traffic only to ports that want to receive it.

This is the period of time DHCP-assigned addresses is used. DHCP automatically assigns IP
addresses to clients when they log in. DHCP centralizes IP address management on central

which means that past addresses are “recycled” and made available for future reassignment to
other systems.
