Configure IGMP on a VLAN

Configure IGMP for each interface to change default multicasting operations.

Note

When you configure the following IGMP parameters on the DvR enabled interface of a DvR Controller, the configuration is automatically pushed to the Leaf nodes within the domain.

ip igmp version
ip igmp query-interval
ip igmp query-max-response
ip igmp robust-value
ip igmp last-member-query-interval
ip igmp compatibility-mode

IGMP snooping is not supported on DvR enabled Layer 2 VSNs.

For more information on DvR, see .

Before you begin

For PIM interfaces, you must enable PIM globally and on the VLAN. For snooping interfaces, do not enable PIM.

Procedure

Enter VLAN Interface Configuration mode:

enable

configure terminal

interface vlan <1–4059>
Enable IGMP v2-v3 compatibility mode:

ip igmp compatibility-mode
Configure the system to downgrade the version of IGMP:

ip igmp dynamic-downgrade-version
Configure message intervals and response times:

ip igmp last-member-query-interval <0–255> [query-interval <1–65535>] [query-max-response <0–255>]
Configure expected packet loss and IGMP version:

ip igmp robust-value <2–255> [version <1–3>]
Add multicast router ports:

ip igmp mrouter {sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}
Enable proxy-snoop:

ip igmp proxy
Enable router alert:

ip igmp router-alert
Enable snooping:

ip igmp snooping
Enable SSM-snooping:

ip igmp ssm-snoop

Example

Switch:1(config-if)# ip igmp last-member-query-interval 15

Configure the query interval to 100 seconds.

Switch:1(config-if)# ip igmp query-interval 100

Configure the robustness value to 4 seconds.

Switch:1(config-if)# ip igmp robust-value 4

Enable proxy snoop for the VLAN.

Switch:1(config-if)# ip igmp proxy

Enable snoop for the VLAN.

Switch:1(config-if)# ip igmp snooping

Switch:1(config-if)# ip igmp ssm-snoop

Enable IGMPv3.

Switch:1(config-if)# ip igmp version 3

Variable Definitions

Use the definitions in the following table to use the ip igmp command.


Variable	Value
access-list `WORD<1–64>` {A.B.C.D/X} <eny-tx\|deny-rx\|deny-both\|allow-only-tx\|allow-only-rx\|allow-only-both>	Specifies the name of the access list from 1–64 characters. Creates an access control group entry for a specific IGMP interface. Specify the IP address of the host and the subnet mask used to determine the host or hosts covered by this configuration. You can use the host subnet mask to restrict access to a portion of the network for the host. Indicates the action for the specified IGMP interface. For example, if you specify deny-both, the interface denies both transmitted and received traffic
compatibility-mode	Activates v2-v3 compatibility mode. The default value is disabled, which means IGMPv3 is not compatible with IGMPv2. To use the default configuration, use the default option in the command: `default ip igmp compatibility-mode` , or use the no option to disable compatibility mode: `no ip igmp compatibility-mode`
dynamic-downgrade-version	Configures the version of IGMP to handle older query messages if the system downgrades. If the system downgrades, the host with IGMPv3 only capability does not work. If you do not configure the system to downgrade the version of IGMP, the system logs a warning. The system downgrades to the oldest version of IGMP on the network by default. To use the default configuration, use the default option in the command: `default ip igmp dynamic-downgrade-version` or use the no option to disable downgrade: `no ip igmp dynamic-downgrade-version`
igmpv3-explicit-host-tracking	Enables explicit host tracking on IGMPv3. The default state is disabled.
immediate-leave	Enables fast leave on a VLAN.
immediate-leave-members `{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}`	Configures IGMP fast leave members on a VLAN to specify fast-leave-capable ports. Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port) a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port) a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port) all ports on the same slot (slot/all) all ports on the switch (all) If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
last-member-query-interval <0–255>	Configures the maximum response time (in tenths of a second) inserted into group-specific queries sent in response to leave group messages. This value is also the time between group-specific query messages. You cannot configure this value for IGMPv1. Decreasing the value reduces the time to detect the loss of the last member of a group. The default is 10 tenths of a second. You should configure this value between 3–10 (equal to 0.3 – 1.0 seconds).
mrdisc [maxadvertinterval <2–180>] [maxinitadvertinterval <2–180>] [maxinitadvertisements <2–15>] [minadvertinterval <3–180>] [neighdeadinterval <2–180>]	Configures the multicast router discovery options to enable the automatic discovery of multicast capable routers. The default parameter values are: maxadvertinterval: 20 seconds maxinitadvertinterval: 2 seconds maxinitadvertisements: 3 minadvertinterval: 15 seconds neighdeadinterval: 60 seconds
mrouter `{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}`	Adds multicast router ports. Identifies the slot and port in one of the following formats: a single slot and port (slot/port) a range of slots and ports (slot/port-slot/port) a series of slots and ports (slot/port,slot/port,slot/port) all ports on the same slot (slot/all) all ports on the switch (all) If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.
proxy	Activates the proxy-snoop option globally for the VLAN.
query-interval <1–65535>	Configures the frequency (in seconds) at which the VLAN transmits host query packets. The default value is 125 seconds.
query-max-response <0–255>	Configures the maximum response time (in tenths of a second) advertised in IGMPv2 general queries on this interface. You cannot configure this value for IGMPv1. Smaller values enable a router to prune groups faster. The default is 100 tenths of a second (equal to 10 seconds). Important: You must configure this value lower than the query-interval.
robust-value <2–255>	Configures the expected packet loss of a network. The default value is 2 seconds. Increase the value if you expect the network to experience packet loss.
router-alert	Instructs the router to ignore IGMP packets that do not contain the router alert IP option. When disabled (default configuration), the router processes IGMP packets regardless of the status of the router alert IP option. Important: To maximize network performance, configure this parameter according to the version of IGMP currently in use: IGMPv1—Disable IGMPv2—Enable IGMPv3—Enable
snoop-querier	Enables the IGMP Layer 2 Querier feature on the VLAN. The default is disabled.
snoop-querier-addr {A.B.C.D}	Specifies the IGMP Layer 2 Querier source IP address.
snooping	Activates the snoop option for the VLAN.
ssm-snoop	Activates support for PIM-SSM on the snoop interface.
static-group {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D}`{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}` [static\|blocked]	Configures IGMP static members to add members to a snoop group. {A.B.C.D} {A.B.C.D} indicates the IP address range of the selected multicast group. `{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}` adds ports to a static group entry. [static\|blocked] configures the route to static or blocked.
stream-limit stream-limit-max-streams `<0-65535>`	Configures multicast stream limitation on a VLAN to limit the number of concurrent multicast streams on the VLAN. The default is 4.
stream-limit-group `{slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}` enable max-streams `<0-65535>`	Configures multicast stream limitation members on ports of a specific VLAN to limit the number of multicast groups that can join a VLAN. The default max-streams value is 4.
version <1–3>	Configures the version of IGMP for this interface. For IGMP to function correctly, all routers on a LAN must use the same version. The default value is 2 (IGMPv2).
