Changing the CGMP Router Hold-Time
The router hold-time is the number of seconds the switch waits before removing
(aging) a router entry and ceasing to exchange messages with the router. If it is
the last router entry in a VLAN, all CGMP groups on that VLAN are removed.
You can thus enter a lower router hold-time to accelerate the removal of CGMP
groups.
Note You can remove router ports before the router hold-time has expired.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the router
hold-time.
Removing Multicast Groups
You can reduce the forwarding of IP multicast packets by removing groups from
the Current Multicast Groups table. Each entry in the table consists of the VLAN,
IGMP multicast address, and ports.
You can use the CLI to clear all CGMP groups, all CGMP groups in a VLAN, or
all routers, their ports, and their expiration times. Beginning in privileged EXEC
mode, follow these steps to remove all multicast groups.
