Static IGMP > Explanation of Static IGMP

When the group 224.12.13.14 starts streaming into switch 1, we can use the command show switch port=5 counter to watch the number of multicast packets sent on port 5 increase. This means that the link is up and the static IGMP entry is working.

When we add a static entry on another switch

Now we add a static IGMP entry on port 5 of switch 3, by adding the commands below.

XModify switch 3 Configuration

set stp port=5 edgeport=yes

#IP configuration enable ip

add ip int=vlan100 ip=172.31.0.253 mask=255.255.255.0 enable ip igmp

enable ip igmp int=vlan100

create ip igmp destination=224.12.13.14 int=vlan100 po=5

Both switches are potential IGMP Queriers and switch 3 becomes the Querier. This is because we gave switch 3 a lower IP address (172.31.0.253) than switch 1 (173.31.0.254).
