Chapter 7: IGMP

The IGMP version is set for each VLAN, and cannot be configured separately for
each Mrouter.

2.

Verify the configuration.

ex2500(config)# show ip igmp mrouter

IGMP Querier

When a network or VLAN does not have a router to handle the Mrouter role and
provide Mrouter discovery on switches, the IGMP Querier feature allows the
EX2500 switch to perform that function.

When IGMP Querier is enabled on a VLAN, the switch acts as an IGMP querier in a
Layer 2 network environment. The IGMP querier periodically broadcasts IGMP
Queries and listens for hosts to respond with IGMP Reports indicating their IGMP
group memberships. If multiple Mrouters exist on a given network, the Mrouters
elect one as the querier, which performs all periodic membership queries.

Follow this procedure to configure IGMP Querier.

1.

Configure IGMP Snooping on a VLAN interface.

ex2500(config)# ip igmp snoop source-ip vlan 2 10.10.10.1

2.

Enable IGMP Querier on the VLAN.

ex2500(config)# ip igmp querier vlan 2 querier
ex2500(config-vlan)# enable

3.

Configure the querier election type and define the address.

ex2500(config-vlan)# ip igmp querier vlan 2 querier-type ipv4 20.20.20.1
ex2500(config-vlan)# exit

4.

Verify the configuration.

ex2500(config)# show ip igmp querier vlan 2

Current IGMP snooping Querier information:
IGMP Snooping information for vlan 100:
IGMP querier none
Switch-querier enabled, currently running
Switch-querier type: IPv4, address 10.10.10.1,
Switch-querier query interval: 125 secs,
Switch-querier startup interval: 3 secs, count: 4
Switch-querier robustness: 2

NOTE:

When IGMP Querier is enabled on a VLAN, the switch performs the role of

IGMP querier only if it meets the IGMP querier election criteria.
