Figure 7 The effect of multicast filtering Multicast Filtering 29 Multicast Filtering Your Switch provides automatic multicast filtering support using IGMP and Your Switch (Internet Group Management Protocol) Snooping. It also supports IGMP query mode. Snooping Mode Snooping Mode allows your Switch to forward multicast packets only to the appropriate ports. The Switch "snoops" on exchanges between endstations and an IGMP device, typically a router, to find out the ports that wish to join a multicast group and then sets its filters accordingly Query Mode Query mode allows the Switch to function as the Querier if it has the lowest IP address in the subnetwork to which it belongs. IGMP querying is disabled by default on the Switch 3812 and Switch 3824. This helps prevent interoperability issues with core products that may not follow the lowest IP address election method. You can enable or disable IGMP query mode for the Switch using the Bridge > Multicast filter > IGMP > Querymode operation on the Web Interface.
