Configuring IGMP queries and responses in a VLAN

Follow these steps to configure IGMP queries and responses in a VLAN:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter VLAN view

vlan vlan-id

Configure IGMP general query
interval

igmp-snooping query-interval interval

Optional
60 seconds by default

Configure the maximum response
time to IGMP general queries

igmp-snooping max-response-time interval

Optional
10 seconds by default

Configure the IGMP last-member
query interval

igmp-snooping
last-member-query-interval interval

Optional
1 second by default

CAUTION:

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

Configuring source IP address of IGMP queries

Upon receiving an IGMP query whose source IP address is 0.0.0.0 on a port, the switch does not enlist

that port as a dynamic router port. This might prevent multicast forwarding entries from being correctly
created at the data link layer and eventually cause multicast traffic forwarding to fail. To avoid the

aforesaid problem, when a Layer 2 device acts as an IGMP snooping querier, configure a non-all-zero IP

address as the source IP address of IGMP queries.
Follow these steps to configure source IP address of IGMP queries:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter VLAN view

vlan vlan-id

Configure the source address of
IGMP general queries

igmp-snooping general-query source-ip
{ ip-address | current-interface }

Optional
0.0.0.0 by default

Configure the source IP address of
IGMP group-specific queries

igmp-snooping special-query source-ip
{ ip-address | current-interface }

Optional
0.0.0.0 by default

CAUTION:

The source address of IGMP query messages might affect the IGMP querier election within the segment.

Configuring IGMP snooping proxying

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure IGMP snooping proxying in a VLAN, complete the following tasks:
