Monitoring reception of IGMP general query messages

You can configure the IGMP proxy agent to monitor the reception of IGMP general query messages on an interface. If an IGMP general query message is not received on the interface within a specified time interval, IGMP generates an igmpGeneralQueryNotReceivedEvent SNMP trap ({ enterprises(1) alliedTelesyn(207) mibObject(8) brouterMib(4) atRouter(4) traps(2) igmpTraps(1) 1 }) containing the ifName object for the interface, and the following log message:

If the interface which generated the log message is not a
