CHAPTER 26
IGMP
This chapter shows you how to configure IGMP.
26.1 Overview
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish
membership in a multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Refer to RFC 1112 and
RFC 2236 for information on IGMP versions 1 and 2 respectively.
The ES-4024A supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start
up, the ES-4024A queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After
that, the ES-4024A periodically updates this information.
