R3102-R3103-HP 6600/HSR6600 Routers IP Multicast Configuration Guide

77
To speed up the response of hosts to IGMP queries and avoid simultaneous timer expirations causing
IGMP report traffic bursts, you must correctly set the maximum response time.
• For IGMP general queries, the maximum response time is set by the max-response-time command.
• For IGMP group-specific queries and IGMP group-and-source-specific queries, the maximum
response time equals the IGMP last-member query interval.
When multiple multicast routers exist on the same subnet, the IGMP querier is responsible for sending
IGMP queries. If a non-querier router receives no IGMP query from the querier when the other querier
present interval expires, it considers that the querier as having failed and starts a new querier election.
Otherwise, the non-querier router resets the other querier present timer.
Configuration guidelines
• To avoid frequent IGMP querier changes, set the other querier present interval greater than the
IGMP general query interval.
• To avoid incorrect multicast group member removals, set the IGMP general query interval greater
than the maximum response time for IGMP general queries.
• The configurations of the maximum response time for IGMP general queries, the IGMP last member
query interval and the IGMP other querier present interval are effective only for IGMPv2 and
IGMPv3.

1. Enter system view.

3. Configure the IGMP querier's
robustness variable.
robust-count robust-value
2 by default.
A higher robustness variable
makes the IGMP querier more
robust, but results in longer
multicast group timeout time.
4. Configure the startup query
interval.
startup-query-interval interval
By default, the startup query
interval is one-quarter of the "IGMP
general query interval."
5. Configure the startup query
count.
startup-query-count value
By default, the startup query count
is the same as the IGMP querier's
robustness variable.
6. Configure the IGMP general
query interval.
timer query interval 60 seconds by default.
7. Configure the maximum
response time for IGMP
general queries.
max-response-time interval 10 seconds by default.
8. Configure the IGMP
last-member query interval.
last-member-query-interval
interval
1 second by default.
