ProSafe M5300 Switch IGMP The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used by IPv4 systems (hosts, L3 switches, and routers) to report their IP multicast group memberships to any neighboring multicast routers. The ProSafe managed switch performs the multicast router role of the IGMP protocol, which means it collects the membership information needed by the active multicast routing protocol. The ProSafe managed switch supports IGMP Version 3. Version 3 adds support for source filtering, which is the ability for a system to report interest in receiving packets only from specific source addresses, as required to support Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), or from all but specific source addresses, sent to a particular multicast address. Version 3 is designed to be interoperable with Versions 1 and 2. From the IGMP link, you can access the following pages: • IGMP Global Configuration on page 296 • IGMP Routing Interface Configuration on page 297 • IGMP Routing Interface Statistics on page 298 • IGMP Groups on page 299 • IGMP Membership on page 300 • IGMP Proxy Interface Configuration on page 301 • IGMP Proxy Interface Statistics on page 302 • IGMP Proxy Membership on page 303 IGMP Global Configuration To display the IGMP Global Configuration page, click Routing Multicast IGMP Global Configuration.
