Igmp snooping for 124F

Hi, I have an issue with IGMP snooping.

After configuring IGMP snooping on a FortiSwitch Standalone running version 7.2, I’m still experiencing problems with one port.

 

Here’s the situation:

 

  • Port 3: TX

  • Port 5: RX

  • Port 7: TX

 

 

What happens is that many devices on the network seem to be “slowed down.”

In addition to enabling IGMP snooping as per the manual, I also considered the multicast group issue — the FortiSwitch 124F does not handle this specific group, so I was told to change it.

 

On VLAN 101, this is what I configured (see attached screenshot). As you can see, my joins are being done on multicast group 238.x.x.x for my device the port 5, which is an RX (receiver), while port 7 is a transmitter.

 

My question is: why do port 3 and port 7, which are supposed to only transmit, also seem to be receiving a large amount of traffic?

 

Everything has been segmented on VLAN 101 to avoid affecting the rest of the network, and that part works fine.

But the issue remains — the TX ports are still receiving traffic.

Did I miss something in the configuration?

I have been running the network for more than a year, and now it's updated with some 124F switchs and some extra FortiLinks, so that there are redundancy.
