Using the Telnet Console

2.Using the spacebar, toggle the Action field to either Add/Modify or Delete and configure these fields.

Field

Description

 

 

VLAN Name

Specifies the name of the VLAN you want to configure.

 

 

 

Specifies whether this VLAN should respond to IGMP queries. Three

 

options are available:

 

• No—Prevents this VLAN from becoming a querier.

Querier Version

• V1—Enables the sending of IGMP query packets when needed.

 

• V2—Enables the sending of IGMP query and leave packets according

 

to the IGMP V2 specification.

 

Use the spacebar to toggle between the options.

 

 

Robustness Variable

Specifies the permitted packet loss on a link. Enter a value between 2—255.

The default is 2.

 

 

 

Query Interval

Specifies the time that can elapse between general IGMP queries. Enter a

value between 1—65535 seconds. The default is 125.

 

 

 

Max Response Time

Specifies the maximum time the switch can wait for IGMP member reports.

Enter a value between 1—25. The default is 10 seconds.

 

 

 

State

Enables or disables learning about IGMP groups. If enabled, the switch

limits multicast forwarding to active member ports.

 

 

 

3. Highlight APPLY and press Enter to make the changes.

These conditions affect the fields on the IGMP snooping screen:

•The switch IGMP snooping flag must be enabled for these settings to have any effect.

•If the IGMP settings have been enabled for the IP interface associated with the VLAN you select, the only field available on the IGMP snooping screen is the State field.

To configure IGMP for an IP interface

1.From the Main Menu, select Layer 3 - IP Networking Setup IGMP Interface Configurations and press Enter.

2.Configure these fields.

Field

Description

 

 

Interface Name

Specifies the name of the IP interface you want to configure. The IP address

field displays the address which corresponds to the entered IP interface.

 

 

 

Version

Specifies the version number of IGMP to be used with the IP interface. Use

the spacebar to select 1 or 2.

 

 

 

Query Interval

Specifies the time (in seconds) between the transmission of IGMP query

packets. Enter a value between 1—65535 seconds. The default is 125.

 

 

 

Max Response Time

Specifies the maximum time the switch can wait for reports from members.

Enter a value between 1—25. The default is 10 seconds.

 

 

 

Robustness Variable

Specifies the permitted packet loss on a link. Enter a value between 1—255.

The default is 2.

 

 

 

State

Enables or disables IGMP on this IP interface.
