Changing global IP multicast parameters<br />
Changing IGMP V1 and V2 parameters<br />
IGMP allows <strong>Brocade</strong> devices to limit the multicast of IGMP packets to only those ports on the<br />
device that are identified as IP Multicast members.<br />
The device actively sends out host queries to identify IP Multicast groups on the network, inserts<br />
the group information in an IGMP packet, and forwards the packet to IP Multicast neighbors.<br />
The following IGMP V1 and V2 parameters apply to PIM:<br />
• IGMP query interval – Specifies how often the <strong>Brocade</strong> device queries an interface for group<br />
membership. Possible values are 2 – 3600. The default is 125.<br />
• IGMP group membership time – Specifies how many seconds an IP Multicast group can remain<br />
on a <strong>Brocade</strong> device interface in the absence of a group report. Possible values are 5 –<br />
26000. The default is 260.<br />
• IGMP maximum response time – Specifies how many seconds the <strong>Brocade</strong> device will wait for<br />
an IGMP response from an interface before concluding that the group member on that<br />
interface is down and removing the interface from the group. Possible values are 1 – 25. The<br />
default is 10.<br />
Modifying IGMP (V1 and V2) query interval period<br />
The IGMP query interval period defines how often a device will query an interface for group<br />
membership. Possible values are 2 – 3600 seconds and the default value is 125 seconds.<br />
To modify the default value for the IGMP (V1 and V2) query interval, enter the following.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# ip igmp query-interval 120<br />
Syntax: [no] ip igmp query-interval num<br />
The num variable specifies the number of seconds and can be a value from 2 - 3600.<br />
The default value is 125.<br />
Modifying IGMP (V1 and V2) membership time<br />
Group membership time defines how long a group will remain active on an interface in the absence<br />
of a group report. Possible values are from 5 – 26000 seconds and the default value is 260<br />
seconds.<br />
To define an IGMP (V1 and V2) membership time of 240 seconds, enter the following.<br />
<strong>Brocade</strong>(config)# ip igmp group-membership-time 240<br />
Syntax: [no] ip igmp group-membership-time num<br />
The num variable specifies the number of seconds and can be a value from 5 - 26000.<br />
The default value is 260.<br />
Modifying IGMP (V1 and V2) maximum response time<br />
Maximum response time defines how long the <strong>Brocade</strong> device will wait for an IGMP (V1 and V2)<br />
response from an interface before concluding that the group member on that interface is down and<br />
removing the interface from the group. Possible values are 1 – 25. The default is 10.<br />
