IGMP snooping: Declare port and VLAN or not?

My ISP sends TV stream (VLAN4) and data (VLAN6) to my FTTH on which my router is connected. Behind my router I got my Netgear GS108Ev3.

On that switch port 7 and 8 are connected to my two televisions and port 2-6 are connected to other devices for data. Port 1 is connected to my router.

To prevent TV stream sending to all my devices on port 2-6, is it that simple to enable IGMP snooping? Or do I need to configure anything in the VLAN tab? Now Basic Port-based VLAN Status and Basic 802.1Q VLAN Status are set to Disable.

So what I want is VLAN4 only to port 7 and 8 (and port 1 for my router off course). And VLAN6 to all 8 ports.

Hi stuif,

Welcome to our community! :)

Well, technically, it depends. It is much easier to configure the switch with a port-based VLAN and most likely if you want those ports not to communicate to other ports. Here is an article that may help you understand and configure port-based VLAN.

Hi JohnCarloV,

Thanks for your reply! And sorry for my late reaction. I was too busy to try it out.

I now set it up using the manual, but not sure if it's working correct. See here a screenshot:

Is there a way to test this?

Regards,

  Yes, you can try to do a ping test so that you may know if it's still communicating with your TV. If not, then it is a success. Have you checked the article on my previous reply?

    Yes, your article helped my configging this. It is working now. I tested it to change VLAN ID4 to other ports my TV's are not using. Then the TV stops.
    
    Testing using ping is not working, cause ping is using VLAN ID6 and that's open on all ports.
    
    Thanks for your help!
