traffic through a switch:
Enable IGMP Snooping on L2 switches
Enable IGMP Querier on the L3 switch
Enable Flow Control
Enable IGMP Fast-Leave on all switches where KVM over IP Extender units are directly connected
Enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on all switches and enable Portfast exclusively on switch ports that
have KVM over IP Extender units connected
Pick an appropriate forwarding mode on all switches. Use Cut-through if available, or Store and Forward
