Table 5-2 Configuring IGMP version
Operation Command
Configure IGMP version for the router
igmp version { 1 | 2
}
Restore the default configuration
undo igmp version
By default, Version 2 is used.
Caution:
IGMP cannot convert automatically among its versions. All the routers on a subnet
therefore should be configured to a same IGMP version.
5.2.4 Configuring the Interval for Querying IGMP Packets
The router finds out which multicast groups on its connected network segment have
members by sending IGMP query messages periodically. Upon the reception of a
response message, the router refreshes the membership information of the
corresponding multicast group.
Please perform the following configurations in interface view.
