Chapter23 Configuring IGMP Snooping and M VR Configuring IGMP Filtering and Throttling
IGMP filtering is applicable only to the dynamic learning of IP multicast group addresses, not static
configuration.
With the IGMP throttling feature, you can set the maximum num be r of IG MP g rou ps th at a Laye r 2
interface can join. If the maximum number of IGMP groups is set, the IGMP snoo ping forwarding table
contains the maximum number of entries, and the interface receives an IGMP join report, you can
configure an interface to drop the IGMP report or to replace the randomly selected multicast entry with
the received IGMP report.
Note IGMPv3 join and leave messages are not supported on switches running IGMP filtering.
These sections contain this configuration information:

Configuring IGMP Profiles, page 23-25 (optional)

Default IGMP Filtering and Throttling Configuration
Table23-7 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 23-28.
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 th e profile by using these commands:
deny: Specifies that matching addresses are denied; this is the default.
exit: Exits from igmp-profile configuration mode.
no: Negates a command or returns to its defaults.
