92 2. IGMP needs to be enabled when the router’s IP address is not smaller than other switches in the subnet. This Router support s IGMP protocol, but IGMP has to be enabled, and the Router has to be the Querier .[...]

93 3. The following topology must be set when the IP address of the switch is not the smallest in the subnet. The network will cause a multi-cast storm from the IGMP client report if it is in Auto mode. All switches must be in disable mode when the VOD server is configured for IGMP Querier . Note: It is suggested that the VOD server switch have the[...]
