Description 
Use the igmp timer other-querier-present command to configure the timer of 
presence of the IGMP querier. 
Use the undo igmp timer other-querier-present command to restore the default 
value. 
On a shared network, i.e., there are multiple multicast routers on the same network 
segment, the query router (querier for short) takes charge of sending query messages 
periodically on the interface. If other non-queriers receive no query messages within 
the valid period, the router will consider the previous query to be invalid and the router 
itself becomes a querier. 
In IGMP version 1, the selection of a query is determined by the multicast routing 
protocol. In IGMP version 2, the router with the lowest IP address on the shared 
network segment acts as the querier. 
Related command: igmp timer query and display igmp interface. 
Example 
# Set querier to expire after 300 seconds.
