Changing IGMP V1 and V2 parameters
Changing IGMP V1 and V2 parameters
IGMP allows Brocade devices to limit the multicast of IGMP packets to only those ports on the device that are identified as IP Multicast members.
The device actively sends out host queries to identify IP Multicast groups on the network, inserts the group information in an IGMP packet, and forwards the packet to IP Multicast neighbors.
The following IGMP V1 and V2 parameters apply to PIM:
•IGMP query interval - Specifies how often the Brocade device queries an interface for group membership. Possible values are 2 - 3600. The default is 125.
•IGMP group membership time - Specifies how many seconds an IP Multicast group can remain on a Brocade device interface in the absence of a group report. Possible values are 5 - 26000. The default is 260.
•IGMP maximum response time - Specifies how many seconds the Brocade device will wait for an IGMP response from an interface before concluding that the group member on that interface is down and removing the interface from the group. Possible values are 1 - 25. The default is 10.
Modifying IGMP (V1 and V2) query interval period
The IGMP query interval period defines how often a device will query an interface for group membership. Possible values are 2 to 3600 seconds and the default value is 125 seconds.
To modify the default value for the IGMP (V1 and V2) query interval, enter the following:
Device(config)# ip igmp
Syntax: [no] ip igmp query-interval num
The num variable specifies the number of seconds and can be a value from 2 to 3600.
The default value is 125.
Modifying IGMP (V1 and V2) membership time
Group membership time defines how long a group will remain active on an interface in the absence of a group report. Possible values are from 5 to 26000 seconds and the default value is 260 seconds.
To define an IGMP (V1 and V2) membership time of 240 seconds, enter the following.
device(config)# ip igmp
Syntax: [no] ip igmp group-membership-time num
The num variable specifies the number of seconds and can be a value from 5 to 26000.
The default value is 260.
Modifying IGMP (V1 and V2) maximum response time
Maximum response time defines how long the Brocade device will wait for an IGMP (V1 and V2) response from an interface before concluding that the group member on that interface is down and removing the interface from the group. Possible values are 1 to 25. The default is 10.
To change the IGMP (V1 and V2) maximum response time, enter a command such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Device(config)# ip igmp
