IGMP versions cannot be switched to one another automatically. Therefore, all the
Layer 3 switches on a subnet must be configured to use the same IGMP version.
6.2.2 Configuring IGMP Query Packets
I. IGMP general query packets
The Layer 3 switch sends IGMP general query packets to the connected network
segment periodically to get to know which multicast groups in the network segment
have members according to the returned IGMP report packets. The multicast router
also sends query packets periodically. When it receives the IGMP join packets of a
group member, it will refresh the membership information of the network segment.
