Description

CiM as Server:

M

Defines the number of membership queries that go

Number of missed

 

unanswered from LAN clients before the Ehternet

responses before leaving

 

Interface will no longer forward data for that IGMP

IGMP group

 

group.

 

 

 

Consider a CiM that has the IGMP query period set to

 

 

60 seconds and the number of missed responses set

 

 

to 3. If a client joins an IGMP group, then the service to

 

 

that group will not be discontinued until no clients

 

 

respond to a query from the CiM for a period of 60*3 =

 

 

180 seconds.

CiM as Client:

C

The Recognize IGMP Queries parameters determines

Recognized IGMP queries

 

if the CiM should respond to periodic queries from an

 

 

IGMP server that publishes a request to join a specified

 

 

multicast group. This parameter can assume one of (2)

 

 

values:

 

 

 

1.

Yes

 

 

2.

No

 

 

If set to YES, the CiM will respond to an IGMP query

 

 

by requesting to join a Multicast Group published by

 

 

the server that is defined in the CiM’s route table.

 

 

If set to NO, the CiM will not respond to IGMP queries

 

 

from a server. In this type of configuration, the CiM

 

 

may be configured to unconditionally request to join an

 

 

IGMP group at an interval specified by the “Unsolicited

 

 

Report Interval” option in the Transmitter IGMP Client

 

 

Configuration Page.

CiM as Client:

U

This parameter defines which version of the IGMP

IGMP Version used for

 

protocol should be followed when attempting to join a

Unsolicited Reports

 

group on a Multicast Server via an unsolicited report.

 

 

When the CiM is configured to Recognize IGMP

 

 

Queries, the CiM will respond to a query in the same

 

 

version that the server used to initiate the query.

 

 

This parameter will assume one of (2) values:

 

 

1.

V1

 

 

2.

V2

 

 

The value of V1 will configure the CiM to use the IGMP

 

 

Version 1 protocol to join a Multicast Group available

 

 

on an IGMP Server in response to an IGMP Query.

 

 

The value of V2 will configure the CiM to use the IGMP

 

 

Version 2 protocol to join a Multicast Group available

 

 

on an IGMP Server in response to an IGMP Query.

 

 

The user can toggle the value of the IGMP Version

 

 

used for Unsolicited Reports from ‘V1’ and ‘V2’ with

 

 

each selection.
