Ip Igmp Query-Interval - Cisco 4500M Command Reference Manual

ip igmp query-interval

ip igmp query-interval
To configure the frequency that the switch sends IGMP host-query messages, use the ip igmp
query-interval command. To return to the default frequency, use the no form of this command.

Defaults

Usage Guidelines
If you use the default IGMP snooping configuration, the valid query interval values are from 1 to
65535 seconds. If you have changed the default configuration to support CGMP as the IGMP snooping
learning method, the valid query interval values are from 1 to 300 seconds.
The designated switch for a LAN is the only switch that sends IGMP host query messages. For IGMP
version 1, the designated switch is elected according to the multicast routing protocol that runs on the
LAN. For IGMP version 2, the designated querier is the lowest IP-addressed multicast switch on the
subnet.
If no queries are heard for the timeout period (controlled by the ip igmp query-timeout command), the
switch becomes the querier.
Note
Changing the timeout period may severely impact multicast forwarding.
Examples
This example shows how to change the frequency at which the designated switch sends IGMP host query
messages:
Switch(config-if)# ip igmp query-interval 120
Switch(config-if)#
