Configuring parameters for IGMP queries and responses

CAUTION:

In the configuration, make sure that the IGMP general query interval is larger than the maximum response
delay for IGMP general queries. Otherwise, multicast group members might be deleted by mistake.

You can modify the IGMP general query interval based on actual condition of the network.
A multicast listening host starts a timer for each multicast group that it has joined when it receives an

IGMP query (general query or group-specific query). This timer is initialized to a random value in the

range of 0 to the maximum response delay advertised in the IGMP query message. When the timer value

decreases to 0, the host sends an IGMP report to the multicast group.
To speed up the response of hosts to IGMP queries and avoid simultaneous timer expirations causing

IGMP report traffic bursts, you must correctly set the maximum response delay.

The maximum response delay for IGMP general queries is set by the max-response-time command.

The maximum response delay for IGMP group-specific queries equals the IGMP last-member query
interval.
