Chapter 5 IGMP Configuration Commands

Description
Use the
igmp timer other-querier-present
command to configure the presence time
of the IGMP querier.
Use the
undo
igmp timer other-querier-present
command to restore the default
value.
By default, the presence time of the IGMP querier is twice the value of IGMP query
message interval, that is, 120 seconds.
On a shared network, i.e., there are multiple multicast routers on the same network
segment, the query router (querier for short) takes charge of sending query messages
periodically on the interface. If other non-queriers receive no query messages within
the valid period, the router will consider the previous querier to be invalid and the router
itself becomes a querier.
In IGMP version 1, the selection of a querier is determined by the multicast routing
protocol. In IGMP version 2, the router with the lowest IP address on the shared
network segment acts as the querier.
