Fast Convergence after MSTP Topology Changes
When a port transitions to the Forwarding state as a result of an STP or MSTP topology change, the system sends a general
query out of all ports except the multicast router ports. The host sends a response to the general query and the forwarding
database is updated without having to wait for the query interval to expire.
When an IGMP snooping switch is not acting as a querier, it sends out the general query in response to the MSTP triggered link-
layer topology change, with the source IP address of 0.0.0.0 to avoid triggering querier election.
Designating a Multicast Router Interface
To designate an interface as a multicast router interface, use the following command.
The system also has the capability of listening in on the incoming IGMP general queries and designate those interfaces as the
multicast router interface when the frames have a non-zero IP source address. All IGMP control packets and IP multicast data
traffic originating from receivers is forwarded to multicast router interfaces.
● Designate an interface as a multicast router interface.
