5.4.4 Configuring the IGMPv2 or IGMPv3 Querier

Context
The IGMP querier can be configured globally or on an interface.
l
l
When the version of IGMP is IGMPv2 or IGMPv3, the configurable parameters of the IGMP
querier include the interval for sending IGMP General Query messages, interval for sending
IGMP Group-Specific Query messages, maximum response time for IGMP Query messages,
Keepalive period of other IGMP queriers, and IGMP robustness variable.

4. Run:
igmp robust-count robust-value
The IGMP robustness variable is set.
When the S3700 starts, the S3700 sends General Query messages robust-value times.
The interval between the messages is 1/4 of the interval for sending IGMP General
Query messages. By default, the robustness variable is 2.
The global configuration is valid on each interface.
The configuration on an interface is valid only for the specified interface. The configuration
on an interface takes precedence over the global configuration. If the IGMP querier is not
configured on the interface, the global configuration is used.
NOTE
In actual configuration, ensure that the interval for sending IGMP General Query messages is greater than
the maximum response time for IGMP Query messages and is smaller than the Keepalive period of other
IGMP queriers.
