Default IGMP Filtering and Throttling Configuration
Table16-7 shows the default IGMP filtering configuration.
When the maximum number of groups is in forwarding table, the default IGMP throttling action is to
deny the IGMP report. For configuration guidelines, see the “Config u ring the I GMP Th rottling Action”
section on page 16-25.
Configuring IGMP Profiles
To configure an IGMP profile, use the ip igmp profile global configuration command with a profile
number to create an IGMP profile and to enter IGMP profile configuration mode. From thi s mo de , you
can specify the parameters of the IGMP profile to be used for filtering IGMP join requests from a port.
When you are in IGMP profile configuration mode, you can create the profile by using these commands:
deny: Specifies that matching addresses are denied; this is the default condition.
exit: Exits from igmp-profile configuration mode.
no: Negates a command or sets its defaults.
permit: Specifies that matching addresses are permitted.
range: Specifies a range of IP addresses for the profile. Y o u can en ter a sing le IP addre ss or a rang e
with a start and an end address.
The default is for the switch to have no IGMP profiles configured. When a profile is configured, if
neither the permit nor deny keyword is included, the default is to deny access to the range of IP
addresses.
