Chapter 23 Configuring IGMP Snooping and MVR
Configuring IGMP Filtering and Throttling
To remove a profile from an interface, use the no ip igmp filter profile number interface configuration
command.
This example shows how to apply IGMP profile 4 to a port:
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
Switch(config-if)#
ip igmp filter 4
Switch(config-if)#
end
Setting the Maximum Number of IGMP Groups
You can set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2 interface can join by using the ip igmp
max-groups interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to set the maximum
back to the default, which is no limit.
This restriction can be applied to Layer 2 ports only; you cannot set a maximum number of IGMP groups
on routed ports or SVIs. You also can use this command on a logical EtherChannel interface but cannot
use it on ports that belong to an EtherChannel port group.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set the maximum number of IGMP groups in
the forwarding table:
To remove the maximum group limitation and return to the default of no maximum, use the no ip igmp
max-groups interface configuration command.
This example shows how to limit to 25 the number of IGMP groups that a port can join.
Switch(config)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
Switch(config-if)#
ip igmp max-groups 25
Switch(config-if)#
end
Configuring the IGMP Throttling Action
After you set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2 interface can join, you can configure
an interface to replace the existing group with the new group for which the IGMP report was received
by using the ip igmp max-groups action replace interface configuration command. Use the no form of
this command to return to the default, which is to drop the IGMP join report.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id
Specify the interface to be configured, and enter interface configuration
mode. The interface can be a Layer 2 port that does not belong to an
EtherChannel group or a EtherChannel interface.
Step 3
ip igmp max-groups number
Set the maximum number of IGMP groups that the interface can join.
The range is 0 to 4294967294. The default is to have no maximum set.
Step 4
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config interface
interface-id
Verify the configuration.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
