IGMP Interface Configuration

Figure 6-57. IGMP Interface Configuration screen

This menu allows the configuration of IGMP for each IP interface configured on the switch. IGMP can be configured as Version 1 or 2 by toggling the Ver field. The length of time between queries can be varied by entering a value between 1 and 65,535 seconds in the Query field. The maximum length of time between the receipt of a query and the sending of an IGMP response report can be varied by entering a value in the Max Response field.

The Robustness Var field allows IGMP to be ‘tuned’ for sub-networks that are expected to lose a lot of packets. A high value (max. 255) for the robustness variable will help compensate for ‘lossy’ sub- networks. A low value (min. 2) should be used for less ‘lossy’ sub-networks.

	Parameter			Description
Interface Name:[		]	Allows the entry of the name of the IP interface that is to
			be configured for IGMP. This must be a previously
			configured IP interface.
Ver:<2>			Can be toggled between 1 and 2. This determines the
			IGMP version (1 or 2) that will be used to interpret IGMP
			queries on the interface.
Robustness Var:[ 2]			A tuning	variable to allow for subnetworks that are
			expected to lose a large number of packets. A value
			between 2 and 255 can be entered, with larger values
			being specified for subnets that are expected to lose
			larger numbers of packets.
Query:[125 ]			Allows the entry of a value between 1 and 65535
			seconds, with a default of 125 seconds. This specifies
			the length of time between sending IGMP queries.
Max Response:[10]			Sets the	maximum amount of time allowed before
			sending an IGMP response report. A value between 1
			and 25 seconds can be entered, with a default of 10
			seconds.
IP Address:			Displays the IP address corresponding to the IP interface
			name entered above
