The following limitations apply to IGMP Layer 2 Querier.
IGMP Layer 2 Querier is based on IGMP Snoop. If you disable IGMP Snoop, IGMP Layer 2 Querier does not work until you enable IGMP Snoop and IGMP Layer 2 Querier.
After you enable IGMP Snoop and IGMP Layer 2 Querier on an interface, if the system receives no IGMP query messages, it becomes the querier.
The following limitations apply when you configure IGMP Layer 2 Querier on DvR enabled nodes.
You can configure IGMP Layer 2 Querier only on the DvR Controllers in a DvR domain. When you configure the following parameters on the Controllers, the configuration is automatically pushed to the DvR Leaf nodes within the domain.
IGMP version
IGMP query interval
IGMP query maximum response time
IGMP robustness value
IGMP last member query interval

You cannot configure IGMP snooping on DvR enabled Layer 2 VSNs.
