Creating and viewing IGMP static entries
Some sources do not join a multicast group before transmitting a multicast stream. When this is the case and if there are no other group members joined in the VLAN, the data is flooded to all port members of the VLAN. You can create a static entry to forward multicast data streams to a particular set of ports within the VLAN. When the entry is created, multicast data streams are always forwarded to the multicast router within the VLAN in addition to the ports configured for this static entry.

Note:
IGMP snoop can guarantee delivery only of local multicast data, but it does not guarantee delivery of remote multicast data. You cannot configure a port as a static receiver in an IGMP snoop-enabled VLAN that does not contain at least one dynamic receiver port and have multicast data forwarded.

To add members to the IGMP snoop group:
- From the Device Manager main menu, choose IP Routing > IGMP > Static.
| The IGMP dialog box opens with the Static tab displayed. |
- In the Static tab, click Insert.
- Enter the appropriate data, and click Insert.
