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.

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.
