PurposeCommand or Action
Example:
Switch(config-if)# ip igmp
• deny—Drops the report. If you configure this throttling action, the
entries that were previously in the forwarding table are not removed
but are aged out. After these entries are aged out and the maximum
number of entries is in the forwarding table, the switch drops the next
IGMP report received on the interface.
max-groups action replace
• replace—Replaces the existing group with the new group for which
the IGMP report was received. If you configure this throttling action,
the entries that were previously in the forwarding table are removed.
When the maximum number of entries is in the forwarding table, the
switch replaces a randomly selected entry with the received IGMP
report.
To prevent the switch from removing the forwarding-table entries, you can
configure the IGMP throttling action before an interface adds entries to the
forwarding table.
To return to the default action of dropping the report, use the no ip
igmp max-groups action interface configuration command.
