1.
Make sure the CLI is in Configuration mode.
Navigate to switch » mcast-filtering » igmp-snooping and configure the following parameter(s) as required:
2.
Parameter
igmp-mode { igmp-mode }
igmp-query-interval { igmp-query-interval }
router-forwarding
rstp-flooding
3.

Viewing a List of Router Ports
To view a list of router ports used for IGMP snooping, type:
show running-config switch mcast-filtering igmp-snooping router-ports
If router ports have been configured, a table or list similar to the following example appears:
ruggedcom# show running-config switch mcast-filtering igmp-snooping router-ports | tab

Synopsis: { active, passive }
Default: passive
Specifies the IGMP mode:
• PASSIVE : The switch passively snoops IGMP traffic and never sends IGMP queries.
• ACTIVE : The switch generates IGMP queries, if no queries from a better candidate for
the querier are detected for a while.
Synopsis: A 32-bit signed integer between 10 and 3600
Default: 60
The time interval between IGMP queries generated by the switch. NOTE: This parameter
also affects the Group Membership Interval (i.e. the group subscriber aging time),
therefore, it takes effect even in PASSIVE mode.
Synopsis: { true, false }
Default: true
Whether or not multicast streams will always be forwarded to multicast routers.
Whether or not multicast streams will be flooded out of all Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(RSTP) non-edge ports upon detection of a topology change. Such flooding is desirable, if
multicast stream delivery must be guaranteed without interruption.
