Multicast Filtering Commands 4

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

Default Setting

64

Command Mode

Interface Configuration

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 max-groups 10

Console(config-if)#

ip igmp max-groups action

This command sets the IGMP throttling action for an interface on the switch.

Syntax

ip igmp max-groups action {replace deny}

replace - The new multicast group replaces an existing group.

deny - The new multicast group join report is dropped.

Default Setting

Deny
