Depending on your network connections, IGMP snooping
may not always be able to locate the IGMP querier .
Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a known multicast router/
switch connected over the network to an interface (port
or lag) on the Switch, you can manually configure the
interface (and a specified VLAN) to join all the current
multicast groups supported by the attached router .
This can ensure that multicast traffic is passed to all the
appropriate interfaces within the Switch .
Specify the interfaces attached to a multicast router,
indicate the VLAN which will forward all the corresponding
multicast traffic, and then click Add .

You can use the Member Ports Query screen to display the
ports on the Switch attached to a neighboring multicast
router/switch for each VLAN and multicast IP address .
Select a VLAN ID and the IP address for a multicast service
from the drop-down menus . The Switch will display all the
interfaces that are propagating this multicast service .

Multicast routers that are attached to ports on the
Switch use information obtained from IGMP to support
IP multicasting across the Internet . These routers may
be dynamically discovered by the Switch or statically
assigned to an interface on the Switch .
You can use the Router Ports Query screen to display the
ports on the Switch attached to a neighboring multicast
router/switch for each VLAN ID .
Select a VLAN ID from the drop-down menu . The Switch
will display all the interfaces that have attached multicast
routers dynamically discovered by the Switch, or those
that have been statically assigned to an interface on the
Switch .
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a
communication protocol designed specifically for
managing devices on a network . Equipment commonly
managed with SNMP includes switches, routers and host
computers . SNMP is typically used to configure these
devices for proper operation in a network environment,
as well as to monitor them to evaluate performance or
detect potential problems .
