Multimedia Traffic Control with IP Multicast (IGMP)

Overview

This chapter describes multimedia traffic control with IP multicast-Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) controls to reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage on a per-port basis, and how to configure it with the switch's built-in interfaces. For general information about IGMP, see IGMP general operation and features.

NOTE: The use of static multicast filters is described in the chapter titled "Traffic/Security Filters" in the Access Security Guide for your HP switch.
