Command Usage
â—† Multicast routers send host query messages to determine the interfaces that
are connected to downstream hosts requesting a specific multicast service.
Only the designated multicast router for a subnet sends host query messages,
which are addressed to the multicast address 224.0.0.1, and uses a time-to-live
(TTL) value of 1.
â—† For IGMP Version 1, the designated router is elected according to the multicast
routing protocol that runs on the LAN. But for IGMP Version 2 and 3, the
designated querier is the lowest IP-addressed multicast router on the subnet.
Example
The following shows how to configure the query interval to 100 seconds.
Console(config-if)#ip igmp query-interval 100
Console(config-if)#
