Configuring The Version Of Igmp Snooping; Configuring Timers - H3C S5600 SERIES Operation Manual

Although both Layer 2 and Layer 3 multicast protocols can run on the same switch simultaneously,
they cannot run simultaneously on a VLAN or its corresponding VLAN interface.
Before enabling IGMP Snooping in a VLAN, be sure to enable IGMP Snooping globally in system
view; otherwise the IGMP Snooping settings will not take effect.
If IGMP Snooping and VLAN VPN are enabled on a VLAN at the same time, IGMP queries are
likely to fail to pass the VLAN. You can solve this problem by configuring VLAN tags for queries.

Configuring the Version of IGMP Snooping

By configuring an IGMP snooping version, you actually configure the version of IGMP messages that
IGMP snooping can process.
IGMP snooping version 2 can process IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages, but not IGMPv3 messages,
which will be flooded in the VLAN.
IGMP snooping version 3 can process IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 messages..
Follow these steps to configure the version of IGMP Snooping:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter VLAN view
Configure the version of
IGMP Snooping
Before configuring related IGMP Snooping functions, you must enable IGMP Snooping in the
specified VLAN.
Different multicast group addresses should be configured for different multicast sources because
IGMPv3 Snooping cannot distinguish multicast data from different sources to the same multicast
group.

Configuring Timers

This section describes how to configure the aging timer of the router port, the aging timer of the
multicast member ports, and the query response timer.
