Configure the other querier
present interval.
igmp timer
other-querier-present
interval
By default, the other querier
present interval is [ IGMP general
query interval ] × [ IGMP
robustness variable ] + [ maximum
response time for IGMP general
queries ] / 2.
Enabling IGMP fast-leave processing
In some applications, such as ADSL dial-up networking, only one multicast receiver host is attached
to an interface of the IGMP querier. The receiver host might switch frequently from one multicast
group to another. To allow fast response to the leave messages of the receiver host, you can enable
fast-leave processing on the IGMP querier.
With this feature enabled, after receiving an IGMP leave message, the IGMP querier does not send
IGMP group-specific queries or IGMP group-and-source-specific queries. Instead, it directly sends a
leave notification to the upstream. Thus, the leave latency is reduced on one hand, and the network
bandwidth is saved on the other hand.
The IGMP fast-leave processing configuration is effective only if the device is running IGMPv2 or
IGMPv3.
The IGMP fast-leave processing configuration is effective on Layer 3 interfaces other than VLAN
interfaces, including Layer 3 Ethernet ports, Layer 3 aggregate interfaces, and Tunnel interfaces.

Enabling the IGMP host tracking function
When the IGMP host tracking function is enabled, the switch can record the information of the
member hosts that are receiving multicast traffic. The information includes the host IP address,
running duration, and timeout time. You can monitor and manage the member hosts according to the
recorded information.
