Configuring IGMP queries and responses globally

Follow these steps to configure IGMP queries and responses globally:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter IGMP Snooping view

igmp-snooping

Configure the maximum response
time to IGMP general queries

max-response-time interval

Optional
10 seconds by default

Configure the IGMP last-member
query interval

last-member-query-interval

interval

Optional
1 second by default

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

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 may 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 will not set that
port as a router port. This may prevent multicast forwarding entries from being correctly created at the
data link layer and cause multicast traffic forwarding failure in the end. When a Layer 2 device acts as
an IGMP-Snooping querier, to avoid the aforesaid problem, you are commended to 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
