Click Advanced Applications > Multicast in the navigation panel. Click the Multicast Setting

 for more information on IGMP Snooping VLAN.

Advanced Application > Multicast > Multicast Setting > IGMP Snooping VLAN 

The following table describes the labels in this screen. 

Advanced Application > Multicast > Multicast Setting > IGMP Snooping VLAN

Mode Select 

auto to have the Switch learn multicast group membership information of any 

VLANs automatically.

Select fixed to have the Switch only learn multicast group membership information of the 
VLAN(s) that you specify below.

In either auto or fixed mode, the Switch can learn up to 16 VLANs (including up to five 
VLANs you configured in the MVR screen). For example, if you have configured one 
multicast VLAN in the MVR screen, you can only specify up to 15 VLANs in this screen.

The Switch drops any IGMP control messages which do not belong to these 16 VLANs.

Note: You must also enable IGMP snooping in the Multicast Setting screen first. 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses 
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation 
panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

VLAN

Use this section of the screen to add VLANs upon which the Switch is to perform IGMP 
snooping.

Name

Enter the descriptive name of the VLAN for identification purposes. 

VID

Enter the ID of a static VLAN; the valid range is between 1 and 4094. 

Note: You cannot configure the same VLAN ID as in the MVR screen.
