copy running-config startup-config
Example:
Device#
copy running-config startup-config
Step 7
Configuring the IGMP Throttling Action (CLI)
After you set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2 interface can join, you can configure an
interface to replace the existing group with the new group for which the IGMP report was received by using
the
ip igmp max-groups action replace
interface configuration command. Use the
no
form of this command
to return to the default, which is to drop the IGMP join report.
