explicit-tracking [access-list | disable]

Syntax Description


`access-list`	(Optional) Access list that specifies the group range for host tracking.
disable	(Optional) Disables explicit host tracking on a specific interface. This option is available only in interface configuration mode.

Command Default

If this command is not specified in IGMP or MLD configuration mode, then explicit host tracking is disabled.

Command Modes

IGMP VRF configuration

IGMP interface configuration

MLD configuration

MLD interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.2	This command was introduced.
Release 3.3.0	The enable keyword was removed. The disable keyword was removed from IGMP and MLD configuration modes.

Usage Guidelines

By default, IGMP supports Version 3, unless a Version 2 or Version 1 IGMP host message is detected in the network. For backward compatibility, IGMP downgrades to run at the IGMP version level that is installed.

This feature allows the router to achieve minimal leave latencies when hosts leave a multicast group or channel. To monitor IGMP or MLD membership of hosts, use the show igmp groups or the show mld groups command in EXEC mode.

In router configuration mode, the explicit-tracking command enables explicit host tracking for all interfaces.To disable explicit tracking for all interfaces, use the no form of the command from IGMP configuration mode. To disable the feature on specific interfaces, use the explicit-tracking command in interface configuration mode with the disable keyword, as shown in the following example.

Note

If you configure this command in IGMP VRF or MLD configuration mode, parameters are inherited by all new and existing interfaces. However, you can override these parameters on individual interfaces from IGMP or router MLD interface configuration mode.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
multicast	read, write

Examples

The following example shows how to enable explicit host tracking for the access list named router1 on all interfaces and how to disable explicit host tracking for a specific GigabitEthernet interface:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# explicit-tracking router1
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0/0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp-default-if)# explicit-tracking disable

Related Commands

Command	Description
show igmp groups	Displays the multicast groups that are directly connected to the router and that were learned through Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).
show mld groups	Displays the multicast groups that are directly connected to the router and that were learned through Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD).

join-group

To have the router join a multicast group, use the join-group command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

join-group group-address [source-address]

Syntax Description


`group-address`	Address of the multicast group. This is a multicast IP address group in either IPv4 or IPv6 prefixing format: IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv4 host in the format `A.B.C.D` . IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv6 host in the form of `X:X::X` .
`source-address`	(Optional) Source address of the multicast group to include in either IPv4 or IPv6 prefixing format: IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv4 host in the format `A.B.C.D` . IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv6 host in the form of `X:X::X` .

Command Default

No multicast group memberships are predefined. If not specified, include is the default.

Command Modes

IGMP interface configuration

MLD interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.2	Support was added for Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Protocol (Versions 1 and 2).
Release 3.5.0	The include `include-address` and exclude `exclude-address` keywords and arguments have been removed.

Usage Guidelines

The join-group command permits the IP packets that are addressed to the group address to pass to the IP client process in the Cisco IOS XR software.

If all the multicast-capable routers that you administer are members of a multicast group, pinging that group causes all routers to respond. This command can be a useful administrative and debugging tool.

Another reason to have a router join a multicast group is when other hosts on the network are prevented from correctly answering IGMP or MLD queries. When the router joins the multicast group, upstream devices learn multicast routing table information for that group and keep the paths for that group active.

Caution

Joining a multicast group can result in a significant performance impact, because all subscribed multicast packets are punted to the route processor.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
multicast	read, write

Examples

In the following example, the router joins multicast group 225.2.2.2:


		RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp
		RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0/0
		RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp-default-if)# join-group 225.2.2.2

Command	Description
ping	Checks host reachability and network connectivity on IP networks. For information, see IP Addresses and Services Command Reference for Cisco CRS Routers.

maximum groups

To configure the maximum number of groups used by Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) and accepted by a router, use the maximum groups command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

maximum groups number

Syntax Description


`number`	Maximum number of groups accepted by a router. Range is 1 to 75000.

Command Default

number : 50000

Command Modes

IGMP configuration

IGMP VRF configuration

MLD configuration

MLD VRF configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.2	Support was added for MLD Protocol (Versions 1 and 2).

Usage Guidelines

When configuring this command within IGMP VRF configuration mode, you may either use the default (unspecified) VRF or a specific VRF by specifying its name.

The maximum combined number of groups on all interfaces can be 75000. After the maximum groups value is met, all additional memberships learned are ignored. The maximum number includes external and local membership.

The following groups obtain local membership on each interface when multicast is enabled and are added into the group totals for each interface: 224.0.0.13 (for PIM), 224.0.0.22 and 224.0.0.2 (for IGMP).

You cannot use the maximum groups command to configure the maximum number of groups below the number of existing groups. For instance, if the number of groups is 39, and you set the maximum number of groups to 10, the configuration is rejected.

Furthermore, you can use the maximum groups per-interface command to configure the maximum number of groups for each interface accepted by a router.

Examples

The following example shows how to display the number of groups (39) and the maximum number of groups configured (50000) . Through use of the maximum groups command, a configuration is committed to change the maximum number of groups to 40. Before and after configuration, the show igmp summary command is used to confirm the configuration change:

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.2	Support was added for Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Protocol (Versions 1 and 2).
Release 3.5.0	The command was changed from maximum groups per-interface to maximum groups-per-interface .

Usage Guidelines

The following groups obtain local membership on each interface when multicast is enabled and are added into the group totals for each interface: 224.0.0.13 (for Protocol Independent Multicast [PIM]), 224.0.0.22 and 224.0.0.2 (for Internet Group Management Protocol [IGMP]). The number of groups for each interface reflects both external and local group membership.

Note

You cannot use the maximum groups-per-interface command to configure the maximum number of groups for each interface below the number of existing groups on an interface. For example, if the number of groups is 39, and you set the maximum number of groups to 10, the configuration is rejected.

When you use the maximum groups-per-interface command for a specific interface, it overrides the inheritance property of this command specified under IGMP or MLD configuration mode.

nsf lifetime (IGMP/MLD)

To configure the maximum time for the nonstop forwarding (NSF) timeout on the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) process, use the nsf lifetime command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

nsf lifetime seconds

`seconds`	Maximum time for NSF mode. Range is 10 to 3600 seconds.

Command Default

seconds : 60

Command Modes

IGMP configuration

IGMP VRF configuration

MLD configuration

MLD VRF configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.2	Support was added for MLD Protocol (Versions 1 and 2).

Usage Guidelines

The IGMP NSF process is triggered by the restart of the IGMP process. While in IGMP NSF mode, the Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB) purges the routes installed by the previous IGMP process when the IGMP NSF process times out.

The IGMP NSF lifetime is the period for IGMP to relearn all the host membership of the attached network through membership queries and reports. During this NSF period, PIM continues to maintain forwarding state for the local members while IGMP recovers their membership reports.

Additionally, IGMP recovers the internal receiver state from Local Packet Transport Services (LPTS) for IP group member applications (including the Auto-RP and the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP) Listener) and updates the MRIB.

Note

The NSF process for MLD under IPv6 is as described above for IGMP under IPv4.

Task ID

Examples

The following example shows how to set the IGMP NSF timeout value to 120 seconds:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# nsf lifetime 120

show igmp nsf	Displays the state of NSF operation in IGMP.
show mfib nsf	Displays the state of NSF operation for the MFIB line cards.
show mld nsf	Displays the state of NSF operation in MLD.

query-interval

To configure the frequency at which the Cisco IOS XR Software sends Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) host-query messages, use the queryinterval command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default frequency, use the no form of this command.

query-interval seconds

Syntax Description


`seconds`	Frequency used to send IGMP host-query messages. Range is 1 to 3600.

Command Default

If this command is not specified in interface configuration mode, the interface adopts the query interval parameter specified in IGMP or MLD configuration mode.

If this command is not specified in IGMP or MLD configuration mode, the query interval time is 60 seconds.

Command Modes

IGMP interface configuration

MLD configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.2	Support was added for MLD Protocol (Versions 1 and 2).

Usage Guidelines

Multicast routers send host membership query messages (host-query messages) to discover which multicast groups have members on the attached networks of the router. Hosts respond with IGMP or MLD report messages indicating that they want to receive multicast packets for specific groups (that is, that the host wants to become a member of the group). Host-query messages are addressed to the all-hosts multicast group, which has the address 224.0.0.1, and has an IP time-to-live (TTL) value of 1.

The designated router for a LAN is the only router that sends IGMP or MLD host-query messages:

For IGMP Version 1 (only), the designated router is elected according to the multicast routing protocol that runs on the LAN.
For IGMP Versions 2 and 3, and MLD Versions 1 and 2, the designated querier is the lowest IP-addressed multicast router on the subnet.

If the router hears no queries for the timeout period (controlled by the query-timeout command), it becomes the querier.

Note

Changing the value of the seconds argument may severely impact network performance. A short query interval may increase the amount of traffic on the attached network, and a long query interval may reduce the querier convergence time.

Note

If you configure the query-interval command in IGMP or MLD configuration mode, parameters are inherited by all new and existing interfaces. You can override these parameters on individual interfaces from interface configuration mode.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
multicast	read, write

Examples

This example shows how to change the frequency at which the designated router sends IGMP host-query messages to 2 minutes:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# interface gigabitEthernet
 
0/1/0/0 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp-default-if)# query-interval 120

Related Commands


Command	Description
hello-interval (PIM)	Configures the frequency of PIM hello messages.
query-timeout	Configures the timeout value before the router takes over as the querier for the interface.
show igmp groups	Displays the multicast groups that are directly connected to the router and that were learned through IGMP.
show mld groups	Displays the multicast groups that are directly connected to the router and that were learned through MLD.

query-max-response-time

To configure the maximum response time advertised in Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) queries, use the querymax-response-time command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

query-max-response-time seconds

Syntax Description


`seconds`	Maximum response time, in seconds, advertised in IGMP or MLD queries. Range is 1 to 12.

Command Default

If this command is not specified in interface configuration mode, the interface adopts the maximum response time parameter specified in IGMP or MLD configuration mode.

If this command is not specified in IGMP or MLD configuration mode, the maximum response time is 10 seconds.

Command Modes

IGMP VRF configuration

IGMP interface configuration

MLD configuration

MLD interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.2	Support was added for MLD Protocol (Versions 1 and 2).

Usage Guidelines

The query-max-response-time command is not supported on IGMP Version 1.

This command is used to control the maximum response time for hosts to answer an IGMP or MLD query message. Configuring a value less than 10 seconds enables the router to prune groups much faster, but this action results in network burstiness because hosts are restricted to a shorter response time period.

If you configure this command in IGMP or MLD configuration mode, parameters are inherited by all new and existing interfaces. You can override these parameters on individual interfaces in interface configuration mode.

Note

If the hosts do not read the maximum response time in the query message correctly, group membership might be pruned inadvertently. Therefore, the hosts must know to respond faster than 10 seconds (or the value you configure).

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
multicast	read, write

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a maximum response time of 8 seconds:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/1/0/0 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp-default-if)# query-max-response-time 8

show mld groups	Displays the multicast groups that are directly connected to the router and that were learned through MLD.

query-timeout

To configure the timeout value before the router takes over as the querier for the interface, use the query-timeout command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

query-timeout seconds

Syntax Description


`seconds`	Number of seconds that the router waits after the previous querier has stopped querying before it takes over as the querier. Range is 60 to 300.

Command Default

If this command is not specified in interface configuration mode, the interface adopts the timeout value parameter specified in IGMP VRF configuration mode. If this command is not specified in IGMP VRF configuration mode, the maximum response time is equal to twice the query interval set by the query-interval command.

Command Modes

IGMP VRF configuration

IGMP interface configuration

MLD configuration

MLD interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.
Release 3.2	Support was added for Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Protocol (Versions 1 and 2).

Usage Guidelines

The query timeout command is not supported on Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Version 1.

By default, the router waits twice the query interval specified by the query-interval command, after which, if the router has heard no queries, it becomes the querier. By default, the query interval is 60 seconds, which means that the query timeout value defaults to 120 seconds.

If you configure a query timeout value less than twice the query interval, routers in the network may determine a query timeout and take over the querier without good reason.

Note

If you configure this command in IGMP or MLD configuration mode, parameters are inherited by all new and existing interfaces. You can override these parameters on individual interfaces in interface configuration mode.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the router to wait 30 seconds from the time it received the last query before it takes over as the querier for the interface:

robustness-count

To set the robustness variable to tune for expected packet loss on a network, use the robustness-count command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default setting, use the no form of this command.

robustness-count count

Syntax Description


`count`	Value of the robustness count variable. Range is 2 to 10 packets.

Command Default

Default is 2 packets.

Command Modes

IGMP VRF configuration

IGMP interface configuration

MLD configuration

MLD interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.6.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

IGMP is a soft-state protocol. State must be periodically refreshed or it times out. At a robustness-count command setting, for example, of 4, a network might lose three IGMP packets related to some specific state yet still maintain the state. If, however, a network lost more than three IGMP packets in the sequence, the state would time out. You might then consider changing the robustness-count setting to maintain state.

router

To disable or enable Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) membership tracking, use the router command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

router {disable | enable}

Syntax Description


disable	Turns off IGMP or MLD membership tracking.
enable	Turns on IGMP or MLD membership tracking.

Command Default

If this command is not specified in IGMP VRF configuration mode, router functionality is enabled on all interfaces.

Command Modes

IGMP interface configuration

MLD interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 2.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The router command is used to enable and disable the IGMP or MLD router functionality on a specific interface. For instance, IGMP or MLD stops queries from an interface when the router functionality is disabled on that interface. Disabling IGMP or MLD router functionality does not prevent local group membership from being announced through the group membership report.

Note

This command is useful if you want to disable or enable IGMP or MLD interfaces that have been previously enabled through the multicast-routing command.

This table describes the significant fields shown in the display for both the show igmp traffic and show mld traffic command, since they are identical. For information about the show mld traffic command, see show mld traffic

Table 6. show igmp traffic and show mld traffic Field Descriptions

Field

Description

Valid IGMP/MLD Packet

Total number of valid protocol packets sent and received. Valid packet types include:

Queries
Membership reports
Leaves

Queries

Total number of query packets sent and received. IP Multicast routers send queries to determine the multicast reception state of neighboring interfaces.

Reports

Total number of membership report packets received. Membership reports indicate either the current multicast reception state of a neighboring interface or a change to that state.

Leaves

Total number of leaves received. A leave group packet indicates that a neighboring interface no longer has multicast reception state for a particular group.

Mtrace packets

(IGMP only) Total number of Mtrace packets sent and received. Mtrace traces the route from a receiver to a source using a particular multicast address.

DVMRP packets

(IGMP only) Total number of Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) packets sent and received. DVMRP is an Internet routing protocol that provides a mechanism for connectionless datagram delivery to a group of hosts across an internetwork. This protocol dynamically generates IP multicast delivery trees using Reverse Path Multicasting. Packet type 0x13 indicates a DVMRP packet.

PIM packets

(IGMP only) Total number of sent and received Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) packets.

Malformed Packets

Total number of malformed packets received. A malformed packet is a packet smaller than the smallest valid protocol packet.

Bad Checksums

Total number of packets received with a bad protocol header checksum.

Note

MLD checksum verification is performed by the ICMPv6 protocol; this counter, therefore, never increments in MLD.

Socket Errors

Total number of read and write failures on the protocol socket.

Bad Scope Errors

Total number of packets received with an invalid multicast scope.

Note

IGMP has no invalid scopes; this counter, therefore, never increments in IGMP .

Auxiliary Data Len Errors

Total number of packets received with a non-zero auxilary data length.

Subnet Errors

Total number of packets received that were not sourced on the same subnet as the router.

DVMRP and MTRACE packets received are not checked for this error as they may be validly sourced from a different subnet.

Packets dropped due to invalid socket

Total number of packets dropped due to an invalid socket.

Packets which couldn’t be accessed

Total number of packets that could not be sent or received.

This might occur if:

Packet buffer does not form a valid protocol packet.
IP header is not written to the packet.
Outgoing packet interface handle was not set.
Errors occurred calculating the protocol checksum.

Other Packet Drops

Packets dropped for any other reason.

ssm map

To map group memberships from legacy hosts in Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) groups accepted by an access control list (ACL) to a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)-SSM source or to configure DNS mapping for PIM-SSM sources to a set of SSM groups, use the ssm map command in the appropriate configuration mode. To revert to default behavior, use the no form of this command.

ssm map { static source-address access-list | query dns }

Syntax Description


`source-address`	PIM-SSM source address to be used to create a static mapping.
`access-list`	ACL specifying the groups to be used to create a static mapping.
query	Configure a mapping of sources to groups quering external database.
dns	Configure a DNS mapping for sources to a set of SSM groups.

Command Default

Legacy host membership reports in the SSM group range are discarded and DNS-based SSM mapping is not enabled.

Command Modes

IGMP VRF configuration

MLD configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.7.0	This command was introduced.
Release 5.3.2	The keywords "query" and "DNS" were introduced to configure DNS-based SSM mapping.

Usage Guidelines

PIM-SSM requires the use of IGMPv3 (IPv4) or MLD (IPv6) to determine local memberships. Under normal operating conditions, IGMP and MLD discard older version group membership reports for groups in the SSM group range. This means that a host with a legacy group membership protocol is unable to receive data from a PIM-SSM source.

The ssm map static command maps an older group membership report to a set of PIM-SSM sources. If the ACL associated with a configured source accepts the SSM group, then that source is included in its set of sources for the SSM group.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
multicast	read, write

Examples

The following example shows PIM-SSM mapping in IGMP routing configuration mode:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# configuration
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# ssm map static 10.0.0.1 mc2 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)#

static-group

To configure the router to be a statically configured member of the specified group on the interface, or to statically forward for a multicast group onto the interface, use the static-group command in the appropriate configuration mode. To return to the default behavior, use the no form of this command.

static-group group-address [inc-mask mask count cnt] [source-address [inc-mask mask count cnt]]

Syntax Description

group-address

IP address of the multicast group in either IPv4 or IPv6 prefixing format:

IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv4 host in the format A.B.C.D .
IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv6 host in the form of X:X::X .

inc-mask mask

(Optional) Specifies a mask for the increment range. This is an IP address expressed range in either IPv4 or IPv6 prefixing format. This mask is used with the group address to generate subsequent group addresses:

IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv4 host in the format A.B.C.D .
IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv6 host in the form of X:X::X .

Note

This mask is used with the group address to generate subsequent group addresses.

count cnt

(Optional) Specifies a number of group addresses to generate using the increment mask. Range is 1 to 512.

source address

(Optional) Source address of the multicast group to include in either IPv4 or IPv6 prefixing format:

IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv4 host in the format A.B.C.D .
IP address as defined in the Domain Name System (DNS) hosts table or with the domain IPv6 host in the form of X:X::X .

Command Default

A router is not a statically connected member of an IP multicast group.

Command Modes

IGMP interface configuration

MLD interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.3.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

When you configure the static-group command, packets to the group are switched out the interface, provided that packets were received on the correct Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) interface.

The static-group command differs from the join-group command. The join-group command allows the router to join the multicast group and draw traffic to an IP client process (that is, the route processor). If you configure both the join-group and static-group command for the same group address, the join-group command takes precedence and the group behaves like a locally joined group.

Note

The static-group command has no impact on system performance.

Task ID


Task ID	Operations
multicast	read, write

Examples

In the following example, the router statically joins two multicast groups 225.2.2.2 and 225.2.2.4 for the specific source 1.1.1.1:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# interface GigE 0/1/0/0
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp-default-if)# static-group 225.2.2.2 inc-mask 0.0.0.2 count 2 1.1.1.1

version

To configure an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) version for the router, use the version command in the appropriate configuration mode. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

version {1 | 2 | 3}

Syntax Description


1	Specifies IGMP Version 1. Available for IGMP and MLD.
2	Specifies IGMP Version 2. Available for IGMP and MLD.
3	Specifies IGMP Version 3. Available for IGMP only.

Command Default

If this command is not specified in interface configuration mode, the interface adopts the IGMP or MLD version parameter specified in IGMP VRF configuration mode.

If this command is not specified in IGMP or MLD configuration mode, IGMP uses Version 3 and MLD uses Version 1.

Command Modes

IGMP configuration

IGMP VRF configuration

IGMP interface configuration

MLD configuration

MLD VRF configuration

MLD interface configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.2	This command was introduced.
Release 3.5.0	This command was supported in the following configuration modes: IGMP interface configuration MLD interface configuration

Usage Guidelines

All routers on the subnet must be configured with the same version of IGMP or MLD. For example, a router running Cisco IOS XR software does not automatically detect Version 1 systems and switch to Version 1. Hosts can have any IGMP or MLD version and the router will correctly detect their presence and query them appropriately.

The query-max-response-time and query-timeout commands require IGMP Version 2 or 3 or MLD Version 1 or 2.

Note

If you configure this command in IGMP or MLD configuration mode, parameters are inherited by all new and existing interfaces. You can override these parameters on individual interfaces from interface configuration mode.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the router to use IGMP Version 3:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# router igmp 
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-igmp)# version 3

Related Commands

Command	Description
query-max-response-time	Configures the maximum response time advertised in Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) queries.
query-timeout	Configures the timeout value before the router takes over as the querier for the interface.

vrf (igmp)

To configure a virtual private network (VRF) instance, use the vrf command in IGMP routing configuration and MLD routing configuration mode. To remove the VRF instance from the configuration file and restore the system to its default condition, use the no form of this command.

vrf vrf-name

Syntax Description


`vrf-name`	Name of the VRF instance.

Command Default

No default behavior or values

Command Modes

IGMP configuration

MLD configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
Release 3.7.0	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

When you use the vrf command from the IGMP routing configuration mode to configure a VRF instance, you enter the IGMP VRF configuration submode. Likewise, when you use the vrf command from the MLD routing configuration mode, you enter MLD VRF configuration submode.

A VRF instance is a collection of VPN routing and forwarding tables maintained at the provider edge (PE) router.

Note

Although the vrf command is available in MLD routing configuration submode, MLD does not support virtual routing and forwarding. Its function there is simply to allow both routing protocols to share the same configuration code.
