IGMP Snooping
– 656 –
Command Usage
When a multicast host leaves a group, it sends an IGMP leave message. When
the leave message is received by the switch, it checks to see if this host is the
last to leave the group by sending out an IGMP group-specific or group-and-
source-specific query message, and starts a timer. If no reports are received
before the timer expires, the group record is deleted, and a report is sent to the
upstream multicast router.
A reduced value will result in reduced time to detect the loss of the last
member of a group or source, but may generate more bursty traffic.
This command will take effect only if IGMP snooping proxy reporting is enabled
(page 646).
Example
Console(config)#ip igmp snooping vlan 1 last-memb-query-intvl 700
Console(config)#
ip igmp snooping vlan
mrd
This command enables sending of multicast router solicitation messages. Use the
no form to disable these messages.
Syntax
[no] ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id mrd
vlan-id - VLAN ID (Range: 1-4093)
Default Setting
Disabled
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
Multicast Router Discovery (MRD) uses multicast router advertisement,
multicast router solicitation, and multicast router termination messages to
discover multicast routers. Devices send solicitation messages in order to solicit
advertisement messages from multicast routers. These messages are used to
discover multicast routers on a directly attached link. Solicitation messages are
also sent whenever a multicast forwarding interface is initialized or re-
initialized. Upon receiving a solicitation on an interface with IP multicast
forwarding and MRD enabled, a router will respond with an advertisement.
Advertisements are sent by routers to advertise that IP multicast forwarding is
enabled. These messages are sent unsolicited periodically on all router
interfaces on which multicast forwarding is enabled. They are sent upon the
expiration of a periodic timer, as a part of a router's start up procedure, during
the restart of a multicast forwarding interface, and on receipt of a solicitation
