Configuring the IGMP snooping querier
This section describes how to configure an IGMP snooping querier.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure the IGMP snooping querier, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN or VSI.
•
Determine the IGMP general query interval.
•
Determine the maximum response time for IGMP general queries.
Enabling the IGMP snooping querier
This feature enables the device to periodically send IGMP general queries to establish and maintain
multicast forwarding entries at the data link Layer. You can configure an IGMP snooping querier on a
network without Layer 3 multicast devices.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you enable the IGMP snooping querier, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Do not enable the IGMP snooping querier on a multicast network that runs IGMP. An IGMP
snooping querier does not take part in IGMP querier elections. However, it might affect IGMP
querier elections if it sends IGMP general queries with a low source IP address.
•
On a VXLAN network, the IGMP snooping querier in a VSI does not include VLAN tags in IGMP
general queries. As a best practice, do not enable the IGMP snooping querier in a VSI if the VSI
uses the Ethernet access mode. For more information about the Ethernet access mode, see
VXLAN Configuration Guide
.
