Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP)
The IGMP commands are supported on the Dell EMC Networking OS.
Topics:
• IGMP Commands
• IGMP Snooping Commands
IGMP Commands
Dell EMC Networking OS supports IGMPv1/v2/v3 and is compliant with RFC-3376.
Important Points to Remember
● Dell EMC Networking OS supports protocol-independent multicast-sparse (PIM-SM) and protocol-independent source-
specific multicast (PIM-SSM) include and exclude modes.
● IGMPv2 is the default version of IGMP on interfaces. You can configure IGMPv3 on interfaces. It is backward compatible
with IGMPv2.
● The maximum number of interfaces supported 95.
● There is no hard limit on the maximum number of groups supported.
● IGMPv3 router interoperability with IGMPv2 and IGMPv1 routers on the same subnet is not supported.
● An administrative command (ip igmp version) is added to manually set the IGMP version.
● All commands previously used for IGMPv2 are compatible with IGMPv3.
