Customizing Multicast Routing

Changing the IGMP Version

By default, the ASA runs IGMP Version 2, which enables several additional features such as the igmp
query-timeout and igmp query-interval commands.
All multicast routers on a subnet must support the same version of IGMP. The ASA does not
automatically detect Version 1 routers and switch to Version 1. However, a mix of IGMP Version 1 and
2 hosts on the subnet works; the ASA running IGMP Version 2 works correctly when IGMP Version 1
hosts are present.
To control which version of IGMP is running on an interface, enter the following command:
Configuring PIM Features
Routers use PIM to maintain forwarding tables for forwarding multicast diagrams. When you enable
multicast routing on the ASA, PIM and IGMP are automatically enabled on all interfaces.
Note PIM is not supported with PAT. The PIM protocol does not use ports, and PAT only works with protocols
that use ports.
This section describes how to configure optional PIM settings and includes the following topics:

Step2 igmp query-timeout seconds
Example:
hostname(config-if)# igmp query-timeout 30
Changes the timeout value of the query.
Valid values range from 0 to 500; 225 is the default value.
Step3 igmp query-max-response-time seconds
Example:
hostname(config-if)# igmp
query-max-response-time 30
Changes the maximum query response time.
