Configurable IGMP timers and counters > Software versions

Software versions

Since software versions 281-03 and 2.9.1, IGMP automatically sets the Default Timeout Interval to the value from the formula in the section above. Therefore, if you change any of the Robustness Variable, the LMQC, the Default Query Interval, or the Query Response Interval, IGMP changes the Default Timeout Interval to match. You can override the Default Timeout Interval if necessary, but we do not recommend doing so.

The examples in this section come from version 2.9.1, so the Default Query Interval automatically changes.

Initial configuration

These examples use the same network configuration as "IGMP snooping" on page 9. For convenience, the diagram is reproduced below.

	Multicast Server
