| to determine which hosts want to receive |
| multicast traffic. This is also referred to as IGMP |
| Snooping. |
IGMP Query Count | The maximum number of queries issued for |
| which there has been no response before the |
| switch takes action to solicit reports. |
IGMP Report Delay | The time (in seconds) between receiving an IGMP |

| port and removes the entry from its list. |
