Configure a Multicast Router VLAN You can configure an interface to forward only snooped IGMP packets from a specific VLAN to the multicast router attached to the interface. This configuration is usually not required because the switch automatically detects a multicast router and forwards the IGMP packets accordingly. It is required only if you want to make sure that the multicast router always receives IGMP packets from the switch in a complex network.  To configure a multicast router VLAN: 1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch. You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable. 2. Launch a web browser. 3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Change the Default IP Address of the Switch on page 11. The login window opens. 4. Enter the switch's password in the Password field. The default password is password. The System Information page displays. 5.
