Depending on your network connections, IGMP snooping
may not always be able to locate the IGMP querier.
Therefore, if the IGMP querier is a known multicast router/
switch connected over the network to an interface (port
or lag) on the Switch, you can manually configure the
interface (and a specified VLAN) to join all the current
multicast groups supported by the attached router.
This can ensure that multicast traffic is passed to all the
appropriate interfaces within the Switch.
Specify the interfaces attached to a multicast router,
indicate the VLAN which will forward all the corresponding
multicast traffic, and then click Add.

You can use the Member Ports Query screen to display the
ports on the Switch attached to a neighboring multicast
router/switch for each VLAN and multicast IP address.
Select a VLAN ID and the IP address for a multicast service
from the drop-down menus. The Switch will display all the
interfaces that are propagating this multicast service.

Multicast routers that are attached to ports on the
Switch use information obtained from IGMP to support
IP multicasting across the Internet. These routers may
be dynamically discovered by the Switch or statically
assigned to an interface on the Switch.
You can use the Router Ports Query screen to display the
ports on the Switch attached to a neighboring multicast
router/switch for each VLAN ID.
Select a VLAN ID from the drop-down menu. The Switch
will display all the interfaces that have attached multicast
routers dynamically discovered by the Switch, or those
that have been statically assigned to an interface on the
Switch.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a
communication protocol designed specifically for
managing devices on a network. Equipment commonly
managed with SNMP includes switches, routers and host
computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these
devices for proper operation in a network environment,
as well as to monitor them to evaluate performance or
detect potential problems.
