Configuring the Maximum Number of Global IGMP Forwarding Entries

You can globally configure the maximum number of entries in the IGMP snooping forwarding

table. When the number of forwarding entries maintained by the device reaches the threshold,

the device creates no more forwarding entries until some entries time out or get manually

removed.

Follow these steps to configure the maximum number of entries in the forwarding table

To do...

Use the command...

entry-limit limit

Required

1000 by default.

If the number of existing entries is larger than the limit when you configure it, the device informs

you to remove excessive entries. In this case, the device does not automatically remove any

existing entries or create any new entries.

Configuring IGMP Snooping Port Functions

Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring IGMP snooping port functions, complete the following tasks:

z

Enable IGMP snooping in the VLAN

z

Configure the corresponding port groups.

Before configuring IGMP snooping port functions, prepare the following data:

z

Aging time of dynamic router ports,

z

Aging time of dynamic member ports, and

z

Multicast group and multicast source addresses

Configuring Aging Timers for Dynamic Ports

If the switch receives no IGMP general queries or PIM hello messages on a dynamic router port,

the switch removes the port from the router port list when the aging timer of the port expires.

If the switch receives no IGMP reports for a multicast group on a dynamic member port, the

switch removes the port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for that

multicast group when the aging timer of the port for that group expires.
