Chapter 24 Configuring IP Multicast Routing
Configuring Optional IGMP Features
You can determine the query interval by entering the show ip igmp interface interface-id privileged
EXEC command.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the IGMP query timeout:
To return to the default timeout value, use the no ip igmp query-timeout interface configuration
command.
Changing the Maximum Query Response Time for IGMPv2
If you are using IGMPv2, you can change the maximum query response time advertised in IGMP
queries. The maximum query response time allows the multilayer switch to quickly detect that there are
no more directly connected group members on a LAN. Decreasing the value allows the switch to prune
groups faster.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the maximum query response time:
To return to the default query-response time, use the no ip igmp query-max-response-time interface
configuration command.
Command
