The purpose of IP multicast filtering is to optimize a switched network’s performance, so 
multicast packets will only be forwarded to those ports containing multicast group hosts 
members and routers instead of flooding to all ports in the subnet (VLAN). 
Routing switches with IP multicast filtering/switching capability not only passively monitor 
IGMP Query and Report messages, DVMRP Probe messages, PIM, and MOSPF Hello 
messages; they also actively send IGMP Query messages to learn locations of multicast 
routers and member hosts in multicast groups within each VLAN. 
Note, however, IGMP neither alters nor routes any IP multicast packets. Since IGMP is 
not concerned with the delivery of IP multicast packets across sub-networks, an external 
IP multicast router is needed if IP multicast packets have to be routed across different 
sub-networks.  
Switch Management 
Administration console via RS-232 serial port 
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch provides an onboard serial port, which allows the 
switch to be configured via a directly connected terminal or a Telnet session. 
Web-based browser interface 
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch also hosts a point-and-click browser-based interface 
that lets users access full switch configuration and functionality from a Netscape or 
Internet Explorer browser.  
External SNMP-based network management application 
The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch can also be configured via SNMP.For more 
information on switch management, refer to the “Switch Management” section.
