By default, the maximum response time is 1 seconds.
24.2.4 Configuring Aging Time of Multicast Group Member Ports
This task is to manually set the aging time of the multicast group member port. If the
switch receives no multicast group report message during the member port aging time,
it will transmit the specific query message to that port and starts a maximum response
timer.
Perform the following configuration in system view.

By default, the aging time of the multicast member is 260 seconds.
24.2.5 Configuring Unknown Multicast Packets not Broadcasted within a
VLAN
This configuration task is to enable/disable the function of not broadcasting unknown
multicast packets within a VLAN. If this function is not enabled but IGMP snooping
enabled on VLAN, multicast packets are broadcasted on within the VLAN when the
destination broadcast group has no member ports. When this function is enabled,
however, multicast packets are only forwarded to the router port, but not broadcasted
within the VLAN if no member port exists. Since the router port is that connected to the
router with IGMP/PIM enabled and the router sends regularly IGMP Query and PIM
Hello packets, the switch can identify the router port. If there is no router port, multicast
packets shall be dropped, instead of being forwarded.
