IGMP Snooping configuration includes:
Enabling/Disabling IGMP Snooping
■
Configuring Router Port Aging Time
■
Configuring Maximum Response Time
■
Configuring Aging Time of Multicast Group Member
■
Of the above configuration tasks, enabling IGMP Snooping is required, while others
are optional.
Enabling/Disabling IGMP Snooping
Use the commands in Table 310 to enable/disable IGMP Snooping on Layer 2. First
enable IGMP Snooping globally in System View, and then enable IGMP Snooping of
the corresponding VLAN in VLAN View.
Perform the following configuration in System View and VLAN View.
Table 310 Enabling/Disabling IGMP Snooping
Operation
Enable/disable IGMP Snooping
Although layer 2 and layer 3 multicast protocols can run together, they cannot run on
the same VLAN or its corresponding VLAN interface at the same time. For example, if
the layer 2 multicast protocol is enabled on a VLAN, then the layer 3 multicast
protocol cannot operate on this VLAN, and vice-versa.
IGMP Snooping functions only when it is enabled both in System View and in VLAN
View.
By default, IGMP Snooping is disabled.
Configuring Router Port Aging Time
Use the commands in Table 311 to manually configure the router port aging time. If
the switch has not received a general query message from the router before the
router port is aged, the switch will remove the port from the MAC multicast group.
Meaning
Transmitted from the multicast group member to the multicast
router, to notify that a host has left the multicast group. The
Switch 5500 transmits the specific query message, concerning
the group, to the port that received the message in an effort to
check if the host still has other members of this group, and then
starts a maximum response timer. If the switch has not received
any report message from the multicast group, the port will be
removed from the corresponding MAC multicast group. If the
MAC multicast group does not have any member, the switch
will notify the multicast router to remove it from the multicast
tree.
