MGS3700-12C User’s Guide

An IGMP filtering profile specifies a range of multicast groups that clients 
connected to the Switch are able to join. A profile contains a range of multicast IP 
addresses which you want clients to be able to join. Profiles are assigned to ports 
(in the Multicast Setting screen). Clients connected to those ports are then able 
to join the multicast groups specified in the profile. Each port can be assigned a 
single profile. A profile can be assigned to multiple ports.
