Chapter 51 Configuring Multicast Services
Configuring IGMP Snooping on the Switch
This example shows how to enable multicast rate limiting and specify a rate limit:
Console> (enable)
set multicast ratelimit enable
Enabling Multicast Ratelimiting
Set a non-zero threshold rate to operationally enable multicast ratelimiting
Console> (enable) set multicast ratelimit rate 1000
Multicast ratelimit watermark rate is set to 1000 pps
Console> (enable)
show multicast ratelimit-info
Multicast ratelimiting enabled
Ratelimit threshold rate: 1000 pps
VLAN RateLimited-Since Ratelimited-for(seconds)

Console> (enable)
Enabling the IGMP Querier
Enter the IGMP querier to support IGMP snooping within a VLAN where PIM and IGMP are not
configured because the multicast traffic does not need to be routed.
Note
You can enable the IGMP querier on all the switches in the VLAN. One switch is elected as the
querier.
To enable the IGMP querier in a VLAN, perform one of these tasks in privileged mode:
This example shows how to enable the IGMP querier and display querier information:
Console> (enable)
set igmp querier enable 4001
IGMP querier is enabled for VLAN(s) 4001
Console> (enable)
set igmp querier 4001 qi 130
QI for VLAN(s) 4001 set to 130 second(s)
Console> (enable)
set igmp querier address 40.1.1.1 4001
Querier Address for vlan 4001 set to 40.1.1.1
Console> (enable)
show igmp querier information

wait before electing itself as the querier in the
absence of general queries. The default is
300 seconds.
set igmp querier
vlan
oqi
val
Specify an IP address for the IGMP querier. If you
do not specify an IP address, the default IP address
is 0.0.0.0.
