Command Usage

• The IGMP filtering profile must first be created with the ip igmp profile

command before being able to assign it to an interface.

• Only one profile can be assigned to an interface.
• A profile can also be assigned to a trunk interface. When ports are configured

as trunk members, the trunk uses the filtering profile assigned to the first port
member in the trunk.

Example

ip igmp max-groups

This command sets the IGMP throttling number for an interface on the switch. Use
the no form to restore the default setting.

Syntax

ip igmp max-groups number
no ip igmp max-groups

number - The maximum number of multicast groups an interface can join
at the same time. (Range: 0-64)

Default Setting

64

Command Usage

• IGMP throttling sets a maximum number of multicast groups that a port can

join at the same time. When the maximum number of groups is reached on a
port, the switch can take one of two actions; either “deny” or “replace.” If the
action is set to deny, any new IGMP join reports will be dropped. If the action
is set to replace, the switch randomly removes an existing group and replaces
it with the new multicast group.

• IGMP throttling can also be set on a trunk interface. When ports are

configured as trunk members, the trunk uses the throttling settings of the first
port member in the trunk.

Example

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1
Console(config-if)#ip igmp filter 19
Console(config-if)#

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/1
Console(config-if)#ip igmp max-groups 10
Console(config-if)#
