In networks where multimedia applications generate multicast traffic, IGMP can greatly reduce unnecessary bandwidth usage by limiting traffic forwarding that is otherwise broadcast to the whole network. Enabling IGMP will allow individual ports to detect IGMP queries, report packets, and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch.

Navigate to this page by selecting Advanced > Enable/Disable IGMP from the Navigation bar.

	Enable: The system will detect IGMP queries, report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch
	Disable: The switch will forward traffic disregarding IGMP requests
