ip igmp snooping tcn 
Use the ip igmp snooping tcn global configuration command to configure the Internet Group 
Management Protocol (IGMP) Topology Change Notification (TCN) behavior. Use the no form of this 
command to return to the default settings.

no ip igmp snooping tcn {flood query count | query solicit}
Syntax Description
Defaults The TCN flood query count is 2.
The TCN query solicitation is disabled.
Command Modes Global configuration 
Command History
Usage Guidelines You can prevent the loss of the multicast traffic that might occur because of a topology change by using 
this command. If you set the TCN flood query count to 1 by using the ip igmp snooping tcn flood query 
count command, the flooding stops after receiving one general query. If you set the count to 7, the 
flooding of multicast traffic due to the TCN event lasts until seven general queries are received. Groups 
are relearned based on the general queries received during the TCN event.
Examples This example shows how to specify 7 as the number of IGMP general queries for which the multicast 
traffic is flooded:
Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count 7
You can verify your settings by entering the show ip igmp snooping privileged EXEC command.
