Type the maximum number of group- specific queries sent on a port on

When the switch receives leave message on a port, it sends a
group-specific query to check if there any other interested receivers for the
group.
Retry Count defines the maximum number of queries sent by the switch
before deleting the port from the group membership information in the
forwarding database.
If the maximum retry count exceeds the Retry Count, then the port is
deleted from the multicast group membership information in the forwarding
database. The received leave message is forwarded onto the router ports
if no interested receivers are in the group.
