Querier Not Elected

If a Querier is not elected, use the following procedure to troubleshoot the issue.

Procedure

  1. Enter Privileged EXEC mode:

    enable

  2. As the IGMP Layer 2 Querier is based on IGMP snoop, check whether IGMP snoop is enabled on the VLAN:

    show ip igmp interface vlan

    If IGMP snoop is disabled, the Layer 2 Querier cannot work until IGMP snoop and IGMP Layer 2 Querier are reenabled.

Example

Check whether IGMP snoop is enabled on the VLAN:

Switch:1>enable
Switch:1#show ip igmp interface vlan

Job Aid

The following table shows the field descriptions for the show ip igmp interface command if you use the interface parameters.

Field

Description

VLAN ID or PORT NUM

Identifies the VLAN or port where IGMP is configured.

QUERY INTVL

Indicates the frequency at which IGMP host query packets transmit on this interface.

QUERY MAX RESP

Indicates the maximum query response time (in tenths of a second) advertised in IGMPv2 queries on this interface.

ROBUST

Indicates the robustness variable, which you can configure for the expected packet loss on a subnet. If you expect packet loss on a subnet, increase the robustness variable.

VERSION

Indicates the version of IGMP that runs on this interface. This object configures a router capable of running either version. For IGMP to function correctly, you must configure all routers on a LAN to run the same version of IGMP.

LAST MEMB QUERY

Indicates the maximum response time (in tenths of a second) inserted into group-specific queries sent in response to leave group messages, and is also the amount of time between group-specific query messages. Use this value to modify the leave latency of the network. A reduced value results in reduced time to detect the loss of the last member of a group. This variable does not apply to IGMPv1.

PROXY SNOOP ENABLE

Indicates if proxy snoop is enabled on the interface.

SNOOP ENABLE

Indicates if snoop is enabled on the interface.

SSM SNOOP ENABLE

Indicates if SSM snoop is enabled on the interface.

UPnP FILTER ENABLE

Indicates if Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) Filtering is enabled to filter multicast packets destined for a specific range.

The default is disabled.

FAST LEAVE ENABLE

Indicates if fast leave mode is enabled on the interface.

FAST LEAVE PORTS (VLAN parameter only)

Indicates the set of ports that are enabled for fast leave

SNOOP QUERIER ENABLE (VLAN parameter only)

Indicates if the IGMP Layer 2 Querier feature is enabled.

SNOOP QUERIER ADDRESS (VLAN parameter only)

Indicates the IP address of the IGMP Layer 2 querier.

DYNAMIC DOWNGRADE VERSION

Indicates if the dynamic downgrade feature is enabled.

COMPATIBILITY MODE

Indicates if compatibility mode is enabled.

EXPLICIT HOST TRACKING

Indicates if explicit host tracking is enabled to track all the source and group members.

UPnP FILTER ADDRESS

Indicates the multicast destination IP address to filter on an IGMP-enabled interface.

The default is 239.255.255.250/32.

The following table shows the field descriptions for the show ip igmp interface command if you do not use the interface parameters.

Field

Description

IF

Indicates the interface where IGMP is configured.

QUERY INTVL

Indicates the frequency at which IGMP host query packets transmit on this interface.

STATUS

Indicates the activation of a row, which activates IGMP on the interface. The destruction of a row disables IGMP on the interface.

VERS.

Indicates the version of IGMP that runs on this interface. This object configures a router capable of running either version. For IGMP to function correctly, you must configure all routers on a LAN to run the same version of IGMP.

OPER VERS

Indicates the operational version of IGMP.

QUERIER

Indicates the address of the IGMP querier on the IP subnet to which this interface attaches.

QUERY MAXRSPT

Indicates the maximum query response time (in tenths of a second) advertised in IGMPv2 queries on this interface.

WRONG QUERY

Indicates the number of queries received where the IGMP version does not match the interface version. You must configure all routers on a LAN to run the same version of IGMP. If queries are received with the wrong version, a configuration error occurs.

JOINS

Indicates the number of times this interface added a group membership.

ROBUST

Indicates the robustness variable, which you can configure for the expected packet loss on a subnet. If you expect packet loss on a subnet, increase the robustness variable.

LASTMEM QUERY

Indicates the maximum response time (in tenths of a second) inserted into group-specific queries sent in response to leave group messages, and is also the amount of time between group-specific query messages. Use this value to modify the leave latency of the network. A reduced value results in reduced time to detect the loss of the last member of a group. This variable does not apply to IGMPv1.

MODE

Indicates the protocol configured on the VLAN added.

  • snoop—Indicates IGMP snooping is enabled on a VLAN.

  • snoop-spb—Indicates IGMP is enabled on a VLAN with an associated I-SID (IP multicast over Fabric Connect for a Layer 2 VSN).

  • pim—Indicates PIM is enabled.

  • routed-spb—Indicates IP multicast over Fabric Connect is enabled on the Layer 3 VSN or for IP Shortcuts.

  • pim-gw-spb—Indicates the SPB-PIM Gateway is enabled on the interface.

L2ISID

Indicates the I-SID associated with the Layer 2 interface.
