Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Interface

Interface on which IGMP is enabled.

 

 

 

 

QueryInterval(sec)

Frequency (in seconds) at which IGMP host query packets

 

 

are transmitted on the interface. The range is from 1 to

 

 

65535. The default is 125.

 

 

 

 

Status

IGMP row status. When an interface has been assigned an

 

 

IP address and DVMRP is enabled, status is shown as

 

 

active. Otherwise, it is shown as notInService.

 

 

 

 

Version

Version of IGMP that is configured on the interface. For

 

 

IGMP to function correctly, all routers on a LAN must be

 

 

configured to run the same version of IGMP on that LAN.

 

 

 

 

Querier

Address of the IGMP querier on the IP subnet to which the

 

 

interface is attached.

 

 

 

 

QueryMax

Maximum response time (in seconds) advertised in

 

ResponseTime(sec)

IGMPv2 general queries on this interface. Smaller values

 

 

allow a router to prune groups faster. This value for

 

 

IGMPv1 is not configurable and has a default value of 10

 

 

seconds.

 

 

 

 

WrongVersion

Number of queries received with an IGMP version that

 

Queries

does not match the interface. IGMP requires that all routers

 

 

on a LAN be configured to run the same version of IGMP. If

 

 

any queries are received with the wrong version, it

 

 

indicates a version mismatch.

 

 

 

 

Joins

Number of times a group membership has been added on

 

 

this interface; that is, the number of times an entry for this

 

 

interface has been added to the cache table. This number

 

 

gives an indication of the amount of IGMP activity over

 

 

time.

 

 

 

 

Robustness

This value is equal to the number of expected query packet

 

 

losses per serial query interval, plus 1. If a network is

 

 

expected to lose query packets, increase the robustness

 

 

value. The range is from 2 to 255 with a default value of 2.

 

 

The default value of 2 means that one query per query

 

 

interval may be dropped without the querier aging out.

 

 

 

 

LastMemQueryIntval

Maximum response time inserted into group-specific

 

 

queries sent in response to leave group messages; also

 

 

the time between group-specific query messages.

 

 

Increasing this parameter increases the time before aging

 

 

hosts on the network. It also increases the number of

 

 

retransmits of group-specific queries. The range is from 1

 

 

to 255. The default value is 1.
