IGMP Group Limit on 5406zl

[jenhuei]

Dear All,

We are working on a IP CCTV project whereby the transmission of video stream required the use of multicast in order to reduce the bandwidth consumption.

We have a 5406zl Core switch and would like to know what is the Multicast group limit for the respective switch as we have over 400 cameras there.

Thank you.

Hi,

In the Multicast and Routing guide :

"Number of IP Multicast Addresses Allowed
The number of IGMP filters (addresses) available is 2,038. Additionally, 16 static multicast filters are allowed. If  multiple VLANs are configured, then each filter is counted once per VLAN in which it is used."
