GS316EP - Disable IGMP Snooping on a single port?
Hello - Can I disable IGMP snooping on just a single port on the GS316EP? I want to leave it on for the rest of the ports. Thanks!
No way, IGMP snooping can be configured for a single VLAN only, and it's always on all ports.
Curious what idea you are following to magically address something by disabling the IGMP Snooping functionality just on one port?
PS. A GS316EP is a Plus switch, and in no way a fully Managed Switch. Requesting a moderator to move the post to the Plus And Smart Switches Forum to discuss Smart Switches (T) and Plus Switches (E), including Local and Remote Management, accordingly.
- I have 1 of my 14 devices that won’t work on my LAN when Snooping is enabled. I am forced to use WiFi because of this. The tech support representing this device has confirmed their product won’t be recognized unless Snooping is turned off.
Slightly over the head for my old engineering brain. A device or node not able to deal with IGMP won't (or must not!) join a Multicast group, but does it regardless? If it does not join, the heavy Multicast won't hit that port. Do I miss something essential?
Please tell us a little bit more about the device in question.
- Thanks. I’m not a network engineer and can’t answer your question. It’s a BlueSound NODE (N130) music streamer. If there is an affordable Netgear managed switch that you recommend that can disable snooping at the port level I’d appreciate it. I don’t want to turn it off for my whole network.
