9.2.6.1

IGMP Snooping Version

The reports sent to the multicast router are sent based on the version of that interface. A
user can administratively configure the version of the port as 1 or 2. If the user has con-
figured the version specifically, the reports are always sent out with only this version. If
the user has not administratively configured the version value, and a v1 query is received
on an interface, this interface is made a v1 interface, and all reports sent out of this inter-
face are v1 reports. If no v1 query is received on an interface for the v1 router present
timeout period (400 seconds), the interface version goes back to its default value (2).

To configure the version of the IGMP reports sent out of a port, use the following com-
mand.

Command Mode

Description

ip igmp snooping version

<1-3>

1-3: IGMP report version

ip igmp snooping vlan

VLANS

To return to the default version of IGMP report, use the no parameter command.

9.2.6.2

Join Host Management

Explicit host tracking is supported only with IGMP v3 hosts.

With explicit host tracking enabled, the switch is in its proxy-reporting mode. In proxy-
reporting mode, the switch forwards the first report only for a source-multicast group pair
to the router, and suppresses all other reports for the same pair. With IGMP v3 proxy re-
porting, the switch does proxy reporting for unsolicited reports and reports that are re-
ceived in the general query interval. By enabling explicit tracking, the router might not be
able to track all the hosts that are behind a VLAN interface.

With proxy reporting disabled, the switch works in transparent mode, and updates the
IGMP snooping database as it receives reports, then forwards this information to the up-
stream router. The router can then explicitly track all reporting hosts.

To enable explicit host tracking on a VLAN, use the following command.

Command Mode

Description

ip igmp snooping explicit-

tracking

ip igmp snooping vlan
