102 IGMP Theory of Operation The following three topologies detail how IGMP Query works and to be configured within a network: 1. Auto mode needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is smaller than other switches in the subnet.

103 2. IGMP needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is not smaller than other switches in the subnet. This Router supports IGMP protocol, but IGMP has to be enabled, and the Router has to be the Querier.

104 3. The following topology must be set when the IP address of the switch is not the smallest in the subnet. The network will cause a multi-cast storm from the IGMP client report if it is in Auto mode. All switches must be in disable mode when the VOD server is configured for IGMP Querier. Note: I...

107 1 to 1000: valid rate value. Priority: This static priority is based on each port setting. If the port priority is set high, incoming frames from this port will always be high priority frames.
