Default Igmp Filtering And Throttling Configuration; Configuring Igmp Profiles - Cisco 3020 - Catalyst Blade Switch Configuration Manual

Configuring IGMP Filtering and Throttling
IGMP filtering is applicable only to the dynamic learning of IP multicast group addresses, not static
configuration.
With the IGMP throttling feature, you can set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2
interface can join. If the maximum number of IGMP groups is set, the IGMP snooping forwarding table
contains the maximum number of entries, and the interface receives an IGMP join report, you can
configure an interface to drop the IGMP report or to replace the randomly selected multicast entry with
the received IGMP report.
Note IGMPv3 join and leave messages are not supported on switches running IGMP filtering.

Configuring IGMP Profiles

To configure an IGMP profile, use the ip igmp profile global configuration command with a profile
number to create an IGMP profile and to enter IGMP profile configuration mode. From this mode, you
can specify the parameters of the IGMP profile to be used for filtering IGMP join requests from a port.
When you are in IGMP profile configuration mode, you can create the profile by using these commands:
