Modifying IPMS Parameters

Configuring the Membership Timeout

You can modify the IPMS membership timeout from 0 to 4294967295 seconds by entering
membership-timeout
100 seconds you would enter:
-> ip multicast membership-timeout 100

Restoring the Membership Timeout

To restore the membership timeout to its default (i.e., 260 seconds) value you use the no form of the
multicast membership-timeout
-> ip multicast no membership-timeout

Modifying the Neighbor Timeout

The default IPMS neighbor timeout (i.e., the time the switch will wait for a neighbor probe from a router
before it removes the corresponding entry for the router from the neighbor table) is 90 seconds. The
following subsections describe how to configure a user-specified neighbor timeout value and how to
restore it with the ip multicast neighbor-timeout

Configuring the Neighbor Timeout

You can modify the IPMS neighbor timeout from 0 to 4294967295 seconds by entering
neighbor-timeout followed by the new value. For example, to set the neighbor timeout to 360 seconds
you would enter:
-> ip multicast neighbor-timeout 360

Restoring the Neighbor Timeout

To restore the neighbor timeout to its default (i.e., 90 seconds) value you use the no form of the
multicast neighbor-timeout
-> ip multicast no neighbor-timeout

Modifying the Querier Timeout

The default IPMS querier timeout (i.e., the time the switch will wait for an IGMP query from a device
before it removes the corresponding entry for the device from the neighbor table) is 260 seconds. The
following subsections describe how to configure a user-specified querier timeout value and how to restore
it with the ip multicast querier-timeout

Configuring the Querier Timeout

You can modify the IPMS querier timeout from 0 to 4294967295 seconds by entering
querier-timeout followed by the new value. For example, to set the querier timeout to 360 seconds you
would enter:
-> ip multicast querier-timeout 360
page 23-12
followed by the new value. For example, to set the membership timeout value to
