M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Allowing switches to snoop IGMP packets is a creative effort to solve this problem. The switch uses the information in the IGMP packets as they are being forwarded throughout the network to determine which segments receive packets directed to the group address. Configure IGMP Snooping Automatically with IGMP Plus Mode IGMP Plus mode lets you automatically configure IGMP snooping, which is used to build forwarding lists for multicast traffic. You can also configure IGMP snooping manually (see Configure IGMP Snooping Manually on page 238). To configure IGMP snooping automatically: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens. 3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login button.
