The document discusses how managed switches can enhance industrial networking and automation. It covers connecting legacy serial devices to an Ethernet network using device servers, upgrading to an industrial Ethernet or wireless infrastructure using ruggedized switches, and how self-healing redundant networks can reduce downtime. It also discusses how managed switches can improve process control precision with features like QoS, VLANs, and IGMP snooping. Finally, it covers additional features of managed switches like remote access, event handling, configuration backup and restore, and USB auto loading.

47. IGMP SNOOPING FOR MULTICAST SERVICE
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is
an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. It manages multicast
traffic by using switches, routers, and hosts that support IGMP. Enabling IGMP
allows the ports to detect IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP
multicast traffic through the switch.
