rv345: IGMP Proxy same as IGMP Passthrough?

[TJO]

Hello, I am replacing a Netgear fvs336gv2 router with a Cisco rv345 router.  On the netgear there was a setting called "IGMP Passthrough" which I have turned on for certain reasons.

Is the "IGMP Proxy"essentially the same thing?  I don't see any "IGMP Passthrough" setting on rv345 with latest firmware.

Thanks.

Hello @TJO

Conceptually they are different. Proxy is the ability of pose itself as client to a IGMP service and then forward the information to those behind it. Passthrough is simply let IGMP traffic goes back and forth.

However, I believe the result will be the same on this case. I never tested with this device to be honest but if I were you I´d enable it and test.

Thanks for your help Flavio.

I see the "Multicast Passthrough" setting on many other cisco routers.  But I do not see it on the rv345.

Can someone from Cisco help me out here?  I am coming from using Netgear Prosafe firewalls where there is an IGMP Passthrough setting.

I have looked at the manual and it is unclear if this is "multicast passthrough".

Thanks for any help.  I am trying to adapt to the Cisco.
