Command Usage

The robustness value is used in calculating the appropriate range for other IGMP variables, such as the Group Membership Interval (ip igmp last-memb-query-interval, page 3-111),as well as the Other Querier Present Interval, and the Startup Query Count (RFC 2236).

Example

Console(config-if)#ip igmp robustval 3

Console(config-if)#

ip igmp query-interval

Use this command to configure the frequency at which host query messages are sent. Use the no form to restore the default.
