IPMG Network

Hi I would like to first know what IPMG is and also what IPMG snooping is as well as when it should be enabled?

IGMP snooping is the procedure of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) system activity. The component permits a system switch to listen in on the IGMP discussion in the middle of hosts and switches. By listening to these discussions the switch keeps up a guide of which connections need which IP multicast streams.

IGMP is a system (Layer 3) convention used to build up participation in a Multicast bunch and can enroll a switch to get particular Multicast movement. (Allude to RFC 1112 and RFC 2236 for data on IGMP variants 1 and 2.)

What is IGMP Snooping

From the default switch propelled settings tooltip on an Asus marked switch:

Whenever empowered, IGMP Snooping screens IGMP interchanges among gadgets and improves remote multicast activity.

At the point when to Enable IGMP Snooping for Home Use

For a home based system, you ought to empower it when you every now and again utilize any sort of spilling or reflecting from your gadgets to stream to Apple TV or Chromecast. In some brand firmware, for example, Asus, empowering IGMP Snooping can alter a portion of the Apple TV Airplay reflecting issues.

You ought to for the most part leave the IGMP Snooping choice as impaired on the off chance that you don't use reflecting capacities or other sort of multicast activity.
