Configuring IGMP Snooping
Use the no ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval global configuration command to globally
reset the IGMP leave timer to the default setting.
Use the no ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id last-member-query-interval global configuration
command to remove the configured IGMP leave-time setting from the specified VLAN.

Controlling the Multicast Flooding Time After a TCN Event
You can control the time that multicast traffic is flooded after a TCH event by using the ip igmp
snooping tcn flood query count global configuration command. This command configures the number
of general queries for which multicast data traffic is flooded after a TCN event. Some examples of TCN
events are the client changed its location and the receiver is on same port that was blocked but is now
forwarding, and a port went down without sending a leave message.
If you set the TCN flood query count to 1 by using the ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count
command, the flooding stops after receiving one general query. If you set the count to 7, the flooding of
multicast traffic due to the TCN event lasts until 7 general queries are received. Groups are relearned
based on the general queries received during the TCN event.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the TCN flood query count:
To return to the default flooding query count, use the no ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count global
configuration command.
Recovering from Flood Mode
When a topology change occurs, the spanning-tree root sends a special IGMP leave message (also known
as global leave) with the group multicast address 0.0.0.0. However, when you enable the ip igmp
snooping tcn query solicit global configuration command, the switch sends the global leave message
whether or not it is the spanning-tree root. When the router receives this special leave, it immediately
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count
count
Specify the number of IGMP general queries for which the multicast
traffic is flooded. The range is 1 to 10. By default, the flooding query
count is 2.
Step 3
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show ip igmp snooping
Verify the TCN settings.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
