Usage Guidelines

Use the ip igmp access-group command to filter groups from Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) reports by use of a standard access list or to filter sources and groups from IGMPv3 reports by use of an extended access list. This command is used to restrict hosts on a subnet to joining only multicast groups that are permitted by a standard IP access list or to restrict hosts on a subnet to membership to only those (S, G) channels that are permitted by an extended IP access list.

IGMP Version 3 (IGMPv3) accommodates extended access lists, which allow you to leverage an important advantage of Source Specific Multicast (SSM) in IPv4, that of basing access on source IP address. Prior to this feature, an IGMP access list accepted only a standard access list, allowing membership reports to be filtered based only on multicast group addresses.

IGMPv3 allows multicast receivers not only to join to groups, but to groups including or excluding sources. For appropriate access control, it is therefore necessary to allow filtering of IGMPv3 messages not only by group addresses reported, but by group and source addresses. IGMP extended access lists introduce this functionality. Using SSM with an IGMP extended access list allows you to permit or deny source S and group G (S, G) in IGMPv3 reports, thereby filtering SSM traffic based on source address, group address, or both.

Source Addresses in IGMPv3 Reports for ASM Groups

Additionally, IGMP extended access lists can be used to permit or filter traffic based on (0.0.0.0, G); that is, (*, G), in IGMP reports that are non-SSM, such as Any Source Multicast (ASM).

Note

The permit and deny statements equivalent to (*, G) are permit host 0.0.0.0 host group-address and deny host 0.0.0.0 host group group-address, respectively.

Filtering applies to IGMPv3 reports for both ASM and SSM groups, but it is most important for SSM groups because multicast routing ignores source addresses in IGMPv3 reports for ASM groups. Source addresses in IGMPv3 membership reports for ASM groups are stored in the IGMP cache (as displayed with the show ip igmp membership command), but PIM-based IP multicast routing considers only the ASM groups reported. Therefore, adding filtering for source addresses for ASM groups impacts only the IGMP cache for ASM groups.

How IGMP Checks an Extended Access List

When an IGMP extended access list is referenced in the ip igmp access-group command on an interface, the (S, G) pairs in the permit and deny statements of the extended access list are matched against the (S, G) pair of the IGMP reports received on the interface. The first part of the extended access list clause controls the source, and the second part of the extended access list clause controls the multicast group.

Specifically, if an IGMP report with (S1, S2...Sn, G) is received, first the group (0, G) is checked against the access list statements. If the group is denied, the entire IGMP report is denied. If the group is permitted, each individual (S, G) pair is checked against the access list. Denied sources are taken out of the IGMP report, thereby denying any sources that match the access list from sending to the group.

Note

The convention (0, G) means (*, G), which is a wildcard source with a multicast group number.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a standard access list to filter the groups that are available on an interface for receivers to join. In this example, Ethernet interface 1/3 is configured to restrict receivers from joining groups in the range 226.1.0.0 through 226.1.255.255. Receivers are permitted to join all other groups on Ethernet interface 1/3.

access-list 1 deny 226.1.0.0 0.0.255.255
access-list 1 permit any log
!
interface ethernet 1/3
 ip igmp access-group 1

Note

Access lists are very flexible; there is a seemingly limitless combination of permit and deny statements one could use in an access list to filter multicast traffic. The examples in this section simply provide a few examples of how it can be done.

The following example shows how to deny all states for a group G. In this example, FastEthernet interface 0/0 is configured to filter all sources for SSM group 232.2.2.2 in IGMPv3 reports, which effectively denies this group.

ip access-list extended test1
 deny igmp any host 232.2.2.2
 permit igmp any any
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip igmp access-group test1
!

The following example shows how to deny all states for a source S. In this example, Ethernet interface 1/1 is configured to filter all groups for source 10.2.1.32 in IGMPv3 reports, which effectively denies this source.

ip access-list extended test2
 deny igmp host 10.2.1.32 any
 permit igmp any any
!
interface Ethernet1/1
 ip igmp access-group test2

The following example shows how to permit all states for a group G. In this example, Ethernet interface 1/1 is configured to accept all sources for SSM group 232.1.1.10 in IGMPv3 reports, which effectively accepts this group altogether.

ip access-list extended test3
 permit igmp any host 232.1.1.10
!
interface Ethernet1/1
 ip igmp access-group test3

The following example shows how to permit all states for a source S. In this example, Ethernet interface 1/2 is configured to accept all groups for source 10.6.23.32 in IGMPv3 reports, which effectively accepts this source altogether.

!
ip access-list extended test4
 permit igmp host 10.6.23.32 any
!
interface Ethernet1/2
 ip igmp access-group test4
!

The following example shows how to filter a particular source S for a group G. In this example, Ethernet interface 0/3 is configured to filter source 232.2.2.2 for SSM group 232.2.30.30 in IGMPv3 reports.

ip access-list extended test5
 deny igmp host 10.4.4.4 host 232.2.30.30
 permit igmp any any
!
interface Ethernet0/3
 ip igmp access-group test5

ip igmp explicit-tracking

To enable explicit tracking of hosts, groups, and channels for Internet Group Management Protocol Version 3 (IGMPv3), use the ip igmp explicit-tracking command in interface configuration mode. To disable this capability, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp explicit-tracking

no ip igmp explicit-tracking

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Explicit tracking of hosts, groups and channels for IGMPv3 is disabled.

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if) Virtual network interface (config-if-vnet)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.0(19)S	This command was introduced.
12.2(8)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)T.
12.2(14)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(14)S.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip igmp explicit-tracking command to enable a multicast router to explicitly track the membership of multicast hosts in a particular multiaccess network. This capability enables the router to track each individual host that is joined to a particular group or channel and to achieve minimal leave latencies when hosts leave a multicast group or channel.

Note

Before configuring the ip igmp explicit-tracking command, IGMP must be enabled (IGMP is enabled by enabling PIM on an interface using the ip pim command). In addition, IGMPv3 should be configured on the interface. To configure IGMPv3, use the ip igmp version 3 command in interface configuration mode.

Note

When explicit tracking is enabled, the router uses more memory than if explicit tracking is disabled because the router must store the membership state of all hosts on the interface.

To monitor the IGMP membership of hosts, use the show ip igmp membership command.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable explicit tracking. The example shows a basic configuration for enabling IP multicast with SSM, IGMPv3, and explicit tracking.

ip igmp helper-address

To cause the system to forward all Internet Group Management Protocol ( IGMP) host reports and leave messages received on the interface to the specified IP address, use the ip igmp helper-addresscommand in interface configuration mode. To disable such forwarding, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp helper-address ip-address

no ip igmp helper-address

Syntax Description

ip-address

IP address to which IGMP host reports and leave messages are forwarded . Specify the IP address of an interface on the central router.

Command Default

IGMP host reports and leave messages are not forwarded.

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if) Virtual network interface (config-if-vnet)

Command History

Release	Modification
11.2 F	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

This command and the ip pim neighbor-filter command together enable stub multicast routing. The IGMP host reports and leave messages are forwarded to the IP address specified. The reports are re-sent out the next hop interface toward the IP address, with the source address of that interface. This command enables a type of “dense-mode” join, allowing stub sites not participating in Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) to indicate membership in IP multicast groups.

Examples

The following example enables stub multicast routing on Router A, which has an outgoing interface with IP address 10.0.0.1. Router B is a central router with an incoming interface with address 10.0.0.2. Access list 1 filters PIM messages from the source (stub Router A).

Examples

ip multicast-routing
 ip pim dense-mode
 ip igmp helper-address 10.0.0.2

Examples

ip multicast-routing
 ip pim dense-mode : or ip pim sparse-mode
 ip pim neighbor-filter 1
access-list 1 deny 10.0.0.1

Related Commands

Command	Description
ip pim neighbor-filter	Prevents a router from participating in PIM (for example, to configure stub multicast routing).

ip igmp helper-address (UDL)

To configure Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) helpering as required for IGMP unidirectional link routing (UDLR), use the ip igmp helper-addresscommand in interface configuration mode. To disable such report forwarding, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp helper-address udl interface-type interface-number

no ip igmp helper-address

Syntax Description

udl interface-type interface-number

Specifies the interface type and number of a unidirectional interface.

Command Default

No forwarding occurs.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
12.0(3)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

This command is required on a downstream router on each interface connected to a potential multicast receiver. The command allows the downstream router to helper IGMP reports received from hosts to an upstream router connected to a unidirectional link (UDL) associated with the configured interface-type and interface-numberarguments.

Examples

The following example configures a helper address on a downstream router:

ip multicast-routing
!
! Interface that receiver is attached to, configure for IGMP reports to be 
! helpered for the unidirectional interface.
!
interface ethernet 0
 description Forward IGMP reports from this interface to UDL querier
 ip address 10.0.0.2 255.0.0.0
 ip pim sparse-dense-mode
 ip igmp helper-address udl serial 0

Command	Description
ip igmp proxy-service	Enables the mroute proxy service.
ip igmp unidirectional-link	Configures an interface to be unidirectional and enables it for IGMP UDLR.

ip igmp immediate-leave

To minimize the leave latency of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) memberships when IGMP Version 2 is used and only one receiver host is connected to each interface, use the ip igmp immediate-leavecommand in global or interface configuration mode. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp immediate-leave group-list access-list

no ip igmp immediate-leave

Syntax Description

group-list access-list

Specifies a standard access list number or name that defines multicast groups in which the immediate leave feature is enabled.

Command Default

This command is disabled.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config) Interface configuration (config-if) Virtual network interface (config-if-vnet)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.1	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

You cannot configure this command in both interface and global configuration mode.

When this command is not configured, the router will send an IGMP group-specific query message upon receipt of an IGMP Version 2 (IGMPv2) group leave message. The router will stop forwarding traffic for that group only if no host replies to the query within the timeout period. The timeout period is determined by the ip igmp last-member-query-interval command and the IGMP robustness variable, which is defined by the IGMP specification. By default, the timeout period in Cisco IOS software is approximately 2.5 seconds.

If this command is configured, the router assumes that only one host has joined the group and stops forwarding the group’s traffic immediately upon receipt of an IGMPv2 group leave message.

Global Configuration Mode

When this command is configured in global configuration mode, it applies to all IGMP-enabled interfaces. Any existing configuration of this command in interface configuration mode will be removed from the configuration. Also, any new configuration of this command in interface configuration mode will be ignored.

Interface Configuration Mode

When this command is configured in interface configuration mode, it applies to an individual interface. Configure this command on an interface if only one IGMP-enabled neighbor is connected to the interface. The neighbor can be either a host or switch running IGMP Snooping. When the ip igmp immediate-leave command is enabled on an interface, the router will not send IGMP group-specific host queries when an IGMP Version 2 leave group message is received from that interface. Instead, the router will immediately remove the interface from the IGMP cache for that group and send Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) prune messages toward sources if this interface was the last one to join that group.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable the immediate leave feature on all interfaces for all multicast groups:

Router(config)# ip multicast-routing
Router(config)# ip igmp immediate-leave group-list all-groups
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.10.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# ip pim sparse-dense mode
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# ip access-list standard all-groups
Router(config)# permit 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255

The following example shows how to enable the immediate leave feature on an interface for a specific range of multicast groups. In this example, the router assumes that the tv-groups access list consists of groups that have only one host membership at a time per interface:

Router(config)# ip multicast-routing
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.0.10.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# ip pim sparse-dense-mode
Router(config-if)# ip igmp immediate-leave group-list tv-groups
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# ip access-list standard tv-groups
Router(config)# permit 239.192.20.0 0.0.0.255

Related Commands

Command	Description
ip igmp last-member-query-interval	Configures the frequency at which the router sends IGMP group-specific host query messages.

ip igmp immediate-leave group-list

To enable the immediate processing of the IGMP leave-group messages, use the ip igmp immediate-leave group-listcommand in global or interface configuration mode. To return to the default settings, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp immediate-leave group-list acl

no ip igmp immediate-leave group-list acl

Syntax Description

acl	Specifies the group ACL number; see the “Usage Guidelines” section for valid values.

Command Default

Disabled

Command Modes

Global or interface configuration

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(14)SX	Support for this command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 2.

If you enter the ip igmp immediate-leave group-listcommand, you must enter this command in VLAN interface configuration mode only.

Valid values for the acl argument are as follows:

Access-list number--1 to 99
Expanded range access-list number--1300 to 1999
Name of the standard IP access list

You can configure one or the other but not both configuration modes at the same time.

You can enter the acl to restrict the immediate-leave behavior to a simple access list for multicast groups. The IGMP leave-group messages for multicast groups that are not permitted by the acl has the standard inquiry mechanism/leave latency.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the immediate processing of the IGMP leave-group messages:

Router(config)# ip igmp immediate-leave group-list 3

ip igmp join-group

To configure an interface on the router to join the specified group or channel, use the ip igmp join-group command in interface configuration mode. To cancel membership in a multicast group, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp join-group group-address [ source source-address ]

no ip igmp join-group group-address [ source source-address ]

Syntax Description

group-address

Multicast group address.

source source -address

(Optional) Specifies a multicast source address.

This keyword and argument pair can be used to enable the router to provide INCLUDE mode capability for the (S, G) channel specified for the group-addressand source-address arguments.

Command Default

No multicast group memberships are predefined.

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if) Virtual network interface (config-if-vnet)

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3SG	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3SG.
15.1(2)SNG	This command was implemented on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip igmp join-group command to configure an interface on the router to join the specified group or channel. With this method, the router accepts the multicast packets in addition to forwarding them. Accepting the multicast packets prevents the router from fast switching.

In support of the IGMPv3 Host Stack feature, the source keyword and source-address argument were added to the ip igmp join-group command to add INCLUDE mode capability to the IGMPv3 host stack for SSM groups.

The IGMPv3 Host Stack feature enables routers or switches to function as multicast network endpoints or hosts. The feature adds INCLUDE mode capability to the IGMPv3 host stack for SSM groups. Enabling the IGMPv3 host stack ensures that hosts on a LAN can leverage SSM by enabling the router or switch to initiate IGMPv3 joins, such as in environments where fast channel change is required in a SSM deployments.

Note

Multiple ip igmp join-group command configurations with different source addresses for the same group are supported.

When the IGMPv3 Host Stack feature is configured, an IGMPv3 membership report is sent when one of the following events occurs:

When the ip igmp join-group command is configured for a group and source and there is no existing state for this (S, G) channel, an IGMPv3 report of group record type ALLOW_NEW_SOURCES for the source specified is sent on that interface.
When the no form of the ip igmp join-group command is configured for a group and source and there is state for this (S, G) channel, an IGMPv3 report of group record type BLOCK_OLD_SOURCES for the source specified is sent on that interface.
When a query is received, an IGMPv3 report is sent as defined in RFC 3376.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a router to forward multicast traffic in the absence of directly connected IGMP hosts using the ip igmp join-group command. With this method, the router accepts the multicast packets in addition to forwarding them. Accepting the multicast packets prevents the router from fast switching.

In following example, Fast Ethernet interface 0/0 on the router is configured to join the group 225.2.2.2.

interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip igmp join-group 225.2.2.2

The following example shows how to configure the interface (loopback 0) to join the PTP multicast group.

Device(config)# interface loopback 0
 Device(config-if)# ip igmp join-group 224.0.1.129

The following example shows how to add INCLUDE mode capability to the IGMPv3 host stack for SSM groups:

interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip igmp join-group 232.2.2.2 source 10.1.1.1
 ip igmp join-group 232.2.2.2 source 10.5.5.5
 ip igmp join-group 232.2.2.2 source 10.5.5.6
 ip igmp join-group 232.2.2.4 source 10.5.5.5
 ip igmp join-group 232.2.2.4 source 10.5.5.6
 ip igmp version 3

ip igmp last-member-query-count

To configure the number of times that the router sends Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) group-specific or group-source-specific (with IGMP version 3) query messages in response to receiving a group-specific or group-source-specific leave message, use the ip igmp last-member-query-count command in interface configuration mode. To set this interval to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp last-member-query-count lmqc

no ip igmp last-member-query-count lmqc

Syntax Description

lmqc	Last member query count. The number of times, from 1 through 7, that the router sends group- or group-source-specific queries upon receipt of a message indicating a leave.

Command Default

LMQC is 2

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if) Virtual network inteface (config-if-vnet)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.1	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

When a router receives an IGMP version 2 (IGMPv2) or IGMP version 3 (IGMPv3) message indicating that a host wants to leave a group, source, or channel, it sends last-member-query-count group- or group-source-specific IGMP query messages at intervals of igmp-last-member-interval milliseconds. If no response is received after this period, the router stops forwarding for the group, source, or channel.

Caution

Do not set the LMQC to 1, because in this situation the loss of a single packet--the query packet from the router to the host or the report packet from the host to the router--may result in traffic forwarding being stopped, even there is still a receiver. Traffic will continue to be forwarded after the next general query sent by the router, but the interval during which a receiver may not receive the query could be as long as 1 minute (with the default query interval).

The leave latency in Cisco IOS software may increase by up to one last member query interval (LMQI) value when the router is processing more than one leave within a LMQI. In this case, the average leave latency is determined by the (LMQC + 0.5) * LMQI. The result is that the default leave latency can range from 2.0 to 3.0 seconds with an average of 2.5 seconds under a higher load of IGMP leave processing. The leave latency under load for the minimum LMQI value of 100 msec and a LMQC of 1 is from 100 to 200 milliseconds, with an average of 150 milliseconds. This is done to limit the impact of higher rates of IGMP leave messages.

If no response is received after this period, the router will stop forwarding traffic for that group, source, or channel only if no host replies to the query within the timeout period. The timeout period is determined by the ip igmp last-member-query-interval and the ip igmp last-member-query-count commands.

Examples

The following example changes the number of times that the router sends group-specific or group-source-specific query messages to 5:

interface tunnel 0

ip igmp last-member-query-count 5

ip igmp last-member-query-interval

To configure the interval at which the router sends Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) group-specific or group-source-specific (with IGMP Version 3) query messages, use the ip igmp last-member-query-intervalcommand in interface configuration mode. To set this interval to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp last-member-query-interval interval

no ip igmp last-member-query-interval interval

Syntax Description

12.2(4)T	The highest interval integer value accepted was changed from 65,535 to 25,500.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

When a router receives an IGMP Version 2 (IGMPv2) or IGMP Version 3 (IGMPv3) message indicating that a host wants to leave a group, source, or channel, it sends last-member-query-count group, group-specific, or source-specific IGMP query messages at intervals set by the ip igmp last-member-query-interval command. If no response is received after this period, the router stops forwarding for the group, source, or channel.

The leave latency in Cisco IOS software may increase by up to one last member query interval (LMQI) value when the router is processing more than one leave within a LMQI. In this case, the average leave latency is determined by the (last member query count + 0.5) * LMQI. The result is that the default leave latency can range from 2.0 to 3.0 seconds with an average of 2.5 seconds under a higher load of IGMP leave processing. The leave latency under load for the minimum LMQI value of 100 msec and a last member query count of 1 is from 100 to 200 milliseconds, with an average of 150 milliseconds. This is done to limit the impact of higher rates of IGMP leave messages.

If no response is received after this period, the router will stop forwarding traffic for that group, source, or channel only if no host replies to the query within the timeout period. The timeout period is determined by the ip igmp last-member-query-interval and the ip igmp last-member-query-count commands.

Examples

The following example changes the IGMP group-specific host query message interval to 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds):

interface tunnel 0
 ip igmp last-member-query-interval 2000

Release	Modification
12.2(14)S	This command was introduced.
12.2(15)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)T.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure a global limit on the number of mroute states created as a result of IGMP membership reports (IGMP joins). When configured globally, the limit is referred to as a global IGMP state limiter. Membership reports exceeding the configured limits are not entered into the IGMP cache. This command can be used to prevent DoS attacks.

Note

IGMP state limiters impose limits on the number of mroute states resulting from IGMP, IGMP v3lite, and URL Rendezvous Directory (URD) membership reports on a global or per interface basis.

Use the ip igmp limit (interface)command to configure a per interface limit on the number mroute states created as a result of IGMP membership reports (IGMP joins).

Note

When configuring IGMP state limiters, you can only configure one global limit on a router and one limit per interface.

The mechanics of IGMP state limiters are as follows:

Each time a router receives an IGMP membership report for a particular group or channel, the Cisco IOS software checks to see if either the limit for the global IGMP state limiter or the limit for the per interface IGMP state limiter has been reached.
- If only a global IGMP state limiter has been configured and the limit has not been reached, IGMP membership reports are honored. When the configured limit has been reached, subsequent IGMP membership reports are then ignored (dropped) and a warning message in one of the following formats is generated:

%IGMP-6-IGMP_GROUP_LIMIT: IGMP limit exceeded for <group (*, group address)> on <interface type number> by host <ip address>

or

%IGMP-6-IGMP_CHANNEL_LIMIT: IGMP limit exceeded for <channel (source address, group address)> on <interface type number> by host <ip address>

- If only per interface IGMP state limiters are configured, then each limit is only counted against the interface on which it was configured.
- If both a global IGMP state limiter and per interface IGMP state limiters are configured, the limits configured for the per interface IGMP state limiters are still enforced but are constrained by the global limit.
If a per interface IGMP state limiter has been configured using the ip igmp limit (interface) command, the Cisco IOS software also checks to see if an access control list (ACL) is specified (with the optional except keyword and access-list argument) to prevent groups or channels from being counted against the interface limit.
- If an ACL has been configured and the group or channel in the IGMP membership report matches, then the state for the IGMP membership is counted against the global limit and not the interface limit.
- If no ACL has been configured, the per interface IGMP state limiter accounts for all IGMP membership reports that do not exceed the configured limit.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a global IGMP state limiter that limits the number of mroute states created as result of IGMP membership reports to 300:

ip igmp limit 300

To configure a per interface limit on the number of multicast route (mroute) states created as a result of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) membership reports (IGMP joins), use the ip igmp limit command in interface configuration mode. To remove the limit imposed by a per interface IGMP state limiter, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp limit number [ except access-list ]

no ip igmp limit number [ except access-list ]

Syntax Description

number

Maximum number of IGMP states allowed on a router or interface. The range is from 1 to 64000.

except access-list

(Optional) Prevent groups or channels from being counted against the interface limit. A standard or an extended access control list (ACL) can be specified for the access-limit argument.

A standard ACL can be used to define the (*, G) state to be excluded from the limit on an interface.
An extended ACLs can be used to define the (S, G) state to be excluded from the limit on an interface. An extended ACL also can be used to define the (*, G) state to be excluded from the limit on an interface, by specifying 0.0.0.0 for the source address and source wildcard--referred to as (0, G)--in the permit or deny statements that compose the extended access list.

Command Default

No per interface IGMP state limiters are configured.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure per interface limits on the number mroute states created as a result of IGMP membership reports (IGMP joins). When configured on an interface, the limit is referred to as a per interface IGMP state limiter . Membership reports exceeding the configured limits for the interface are not entered into the IGMP cache. This command can be used to prevent DoS attacks or to provide a multicast Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanism in network environments where all the multicast flows roughly utilize the same amount of bandwidth.

Note

IGMP state limiters impose limits on the number of mroute states resulting from IGMP, IGMP v3lite, and URD membership reports on a global or per interface basis.

For the required number argument, specify a limit on the number of IGMP membership reports that can be cached for the specified interface. The range is from 1 to 64000.

Use the optional except access-list keyword and argument to prevent groups or channels from being counted against the interface limit. A standard or an extended ACL can be specified.

- A standard ACL can be used to define the (*, G) state to be excluded from the limit on an interface.
- An extended ACLs can be used to define the (S, G) state to be excluded from the limit on an interface. An extended ACL also can be used to define the (*, G) state to be excluded from the limit on an interface, by specifying 0.0.0.0 for the source address and source wildcard--referred to as (0, G)--in the permit or deny statements that compose the extended access list.

Use the ip igmp limit (global)command to configure a global limit on the number of mroute states created as a result of IGMP membership reports (IGMP joins).

Note

When configuring IGMP state limiters, you can only configure one global limit on a router and one limit per interface.

The mechanics of IGMP state limiters are as follows:

Each time a router receives an IGMP membership report for a particular group or channel, the Cisco IOS software checks to see if either the limit for the global IGMP state limiter or the limit for the per interface IGMP state limiter has been reached.

%IGMP-6-IGMP_GROUP_LIMIT: IGMP limit exceeded for <group (*, group address)> on <interface type number> by host <ip address>

or

%IGMP-6-IGMP_CHANNEL_LIMIT: IGMP limit exceeded for <channel (source address, group address)> on <interface type number> by host <ip address>

- If only per interface IGMP state limiters are configured, then each limit is only counted against the interface on which it was configured.
- If both a global IGMP state limiter and per interface IGMP state limiters are configured, the limits configured for the per interface IGMP state limiters are still enforced but are constrained by the global limit.
If a per interface IGMP state limiter has been configured using the ip igmp limit (interface) command, the Cisco IOS software also checks to see if an ACL is specified (with the optional except keyword and access-list argument) to prevent groups or channels from being counted against the interface limit.
- If an ACL has been configured and the group or channel in the IGMP membership report matches, then the state for the IGMP membership is counted against the global limit and not the interface limit.
- If no ACL has been configured, the per interface IGMP state limiter accounts for all IGMP membership reports that do not exceed the configured limit.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

Based on the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) query interval, the router periodically checks the multicast static route (mroute) table for (*, G) forwarding entries that match interfaces configured with the ip igmp mroute-proxy command. Where there is a match, one IGMP report is created and received on this interface. The ip igmp proxy-servicecommand is intended to be used with the ip igmp helper-address (UDL) command, in which case the IGMP report would be forwarded to an upstream router.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the ip igmp mroute-proxy command on Ethernet interface 1 to request that IGMP reports be sent to loopback interface 0 for all groups in the mroute table that are forwarded to Ethernet interface 1. This example also shows how to configure the ip igmp proxy-service command on loopback interface 0 to enable the forwarding of IGMP reports out the interface for all groups on interfaces registered through the ip igmp mroute-proxy command.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip igmp querier-timeout command to configure the period of time before the router triggers IGMP querier reelection for the interface. The IGMP querier timeout period applies to routers on the subnet that are not currently acting as the IGMP querier.

By default, a router on the subnet that is not currently acting as the querier waits twice the query interval specified by the ip igmp query-interval command, after which, if it has heard no queries, it triggers IGMP reelection. The router with the lowest IP address on the subnet is elected the IGMP querier.

In Cisco IOS XE 3.1S and earlier releases, the ip igmp querier-timeout command is not written to the configuration if the specified timeout value is equal to the default value of two times the query interval.

In Cisco IOS XE 3.2S and later releases, the ip igmp querier-timeout command is written to the configuration any time that the command is explicitly configured, regardless of the specified timeout value.

We recommend that you do not modify the IGMP query interval and IGMP querier timeout values. However, if you configure the appropriate commands to change the query interval and querier timeout default values, the following conditions apply:

If you use the ip igmp query-interval command to configure the query interval, the timeout value is automatically adjusted to two times the query interval; the adjusted timeout value, however, is not reflected in the interface configuration.

Note

To confirm that the timeout value adjusted to two times the modified query interval, use the show ip igmp interface command to display the query interval and timeout values being used for the interface.

Conversely, if you use the ip igmp querier-timeout command to configure the timeout value, the query interval does not automatically adjust to half of the modified timeout value, so it is possible to override the default timeout period of two times the query interval. If you must configure the timeout period, we recommend that you configure the timeout value in proportion to the query interval value.
The query interval must be greater than the IGMP maximum query response time. Use the ip igmp max-response-time command to change the max-response-time value from the default (10 seconds) to a specified length of time, if required.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure the router to wait 240 seconds from the time it received the last query before it triggers the IGMP election process. In this example, the timeout period is manually modified in proportion to the IGMP query interval by using the ip igmp querier-timeout command.

interface GigabitEthernet1/1
 ip igmp query-interval 120
 ip igmp querier-timeout 240

The following example shows how to configure the router to wait 250 seconds from the time it received the last query until the time that the router triggers the IGMP election process. When the timeout value is explicitly configured, the query interval does not automatically adjust. Because the query interval was not explicitly configured to change the default value (60 seconds), the default timeout period of two times the query interval, or 120 seconds, is overridden by the specified value.

Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip igmp query-interval command to configure the frequency at which the IGMP querier sends IGMP host-query messages from an interface. The IGMP querier sends query-host messages to discover which multicast groups have members on the attached networks of the router.

Note

We recommend that you use the default IGMP query interval and timeout period.

The Cisco IOS software uses a default IGMP query interval of 60 seconds, which is different from the RFC standard default of 125 seconds. Using a lower default IGMP query interval of 60 seconds allows routers to stop forwarding traffic faster when a member crashes without sending leaves (in IGMPv2 or IGMPv3 environment), or if using IGMPv1: 3 * 60 seconds versus 3 * 125 seconds.

If a lower version IGMP-enabled interface (that is, an interface running IGMPv1 or v2) receives a higher version IGMP query (IGMPv3) with a different query interval, the following events will occur:

An error message in the following format will be displayed:

%IGMP-3-QUERY_INT_MISMATCH: Received a non-matching query interval <interval in seconds>, from querier address <ip-address>

If the query interval on the lower version IGMP-enabled interface has not been modified, the default query interval will appear under its respective interface configuration.
If the query interval on the IGMP-enabled interface has been modified, the configured query interval will be updated to show the configured query interval under its respective interface configuration.

Note

The show ip igmp interface command displays both the configured query interval and the received query interval in its output.

Be careful when increasing the query interval in an environment with IGMPv2 routers (the default) and Layer 2 (L2) snooping switches: An IGMPv2 snooping switch needs to know the query interval of the IGMP querier, because it is not signaled in IGMP messages (in IGMPv3 it is). The IGMP snooping switch will time out membership state based on what it thinks the query interval is. If the querier uses a query interval larger than what the IGMP snooping switch assumes, then this may lead to an unexpected timeout of multicast state on the IGMP snooping switch.

Note

The default IGMP query interval on Cisco routers of 60 seconds is never an issue with Cisco IGMP snooping switches because they either assume a 60 second-interval or will try to determine the query interval by measuring the interval between IGMP general queries.

Be careful decreasing the query interval because it increases the processing load on the router (total number of IGMP reports received over a period of time)--especially on routers with a large number of interfaces and hosts connected to it (for example, a broadband aggregation router).

We recommend that you do not modify the IGMP query interval and IGMP querier timeout values. However, if you configure the appropriate commands to change the query interval and querier timeout default values, the following conditions apply:

If you use the ip igmp query-interval command to configure the query interval, the timeout value is automatically adjusted to two times the query interval; the adjusted timeout value, however, is not reflected in the interface configuration.

Note

To confirm that the timeout value adjusted to two times the modified query interval, use the show ip igmp interface command to display the query interval and timeout values being used for the interface.

Conversely, if you use the ip igmp querier-timeout command to configure the timeout value, the query interval does not automatically adjust to half of the modified timeout value, so it is possible to override the default timeout period of two times the query interval. If you must configure the timeout period, we recommend that you configure the timeout value in proportion to the query interval value.
The query interval must be greater than the IGMP maximum query response time. Use the ip igmp max-response-time command to change the max-response-time value from the default (10 seconds) to a specified length of time, if required.

Examples

The following example shows how to increase the frequency at which the IGMP querier sends IGMP host-query messages to 120 seconds. The IGMP timeout period will automatically adjust to two times the configured query interval (240 seconds, in this example).

When IGMP snooping is globally disabled, IGMP snooping is disabled on all existing bridge domain interfaces. When IGMP snooping is globally enabled, IGMP snooping is enabled on all existing bridge domain interfaces unless IGMP snooping was also explicitly disabled on a specific bridge domain interface. When IGMP snooping is disabled globally and on a specific bridge domain interface, globally enabling IGMP snooping will not enable snooping on the bridge domain interface; it must be explicitly re-enabled on the bridge domain interface.

Use the show ip igmp snooping privileged EXEC command to verify your IGMP settings.

The configuration is saved in NVRAM.

For Cisco 7600 series routers: Before you can enable IGMP snooping for Cisco 7600 series routers, you must configure the VLAN interface for multicast routing.

Examples

Command History

Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S	This command was introduced.
15.2(4)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S.

Usage Guidelines

Enforcing IGMP snooping check enables a router or interface to intercept packets that are not directly addressed to the device or interface by using one of the following checking methods:

TTL field: IGMP snooping checks the TTL field in the IGMP header and drops packets where TTL is not equal to 1.
RTR-Alert option: IGMP snooping checks for the presence of the RTR-Alert option in the IP packet header of the IGMP message and drops packets that do not include this option.

To globally enforce snooping check, use this command in global configuration mode. To enforce snooping check on a specific bridge-domain interface, use this command in bridge domain configuration mode.

Examples

Router(config-bdomain)# ip igmp snooping check ttl

ip igmp snooping access-group

15.2(4)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S.

Usage Guidelines

IGMP filtering allows you to configure filters on a per-port basis or a per-Switched Virtual Interface (SVI) basis, or both, or on a per-bridge domain basis or per-Ethernet Flow Point (EFP) basis.

IGMP filtering is supported for IPv4 only.

You can list several groups or channels if you configure multiple access control entries in the access control list. Depending on the permit and deny statements in the ACL configuration, the corresponding group or channel is allowed or denied. The ACL you specify can be a simple or an extended ACL.

This command can be entered as follows:

Per SVI as a default filter for all switch ports in access mode under that SVI and for all trunk ports that carry the corresponding VLAN for that VLAN only.
Per switch port:
- If the switch port is in access mode, this filter overrides any default SVI filter.
- If the switch port is in trunk mode, this filter acts as a default for all VLANs on that trunk and overrides any default SVI filter.
Per Layer 2-VLAN:
- If the switch port is a trunk port, this filter applies only to IGMP packets arriving on the specified Layer 2 VLAN.
- If the switch port is in trunk mode, this filter overrides any trunk default filter.
Per-bridge domain for EVC-based IGMP snooping in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S and later releases.
Per- EFP for EVC-based IGMP snooping in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S and later releases.

Examples

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Explicit tracking is enabled.

Command Modes

Interface configuration (config-if)

Bridge domain configuration (config-bdomain)

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(14)SX	This command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S. Support for this command was added to the bridge domain configuration mode.
15.2(4)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command in the interface configuration mode to enable explicit tracking on a VLAN. Use this command in the bridge domain configuration mode to enable explicit tracking on a bridge domain interface.

Disabling explicit tracking disables fast-leave processing and proxy reporting.

Explicit host tracking is supported only with IGMPv3 hosts.

IGMPv3 supports explicit host tracking of membership information on any port. The explicit host-tracking database is used for fast-leave processing for IGMPv3 hosts, proxy reporting, and statistics collection. When you enable explicit host tracking on a VLAN or a bridge domain interface, the IGMP snooping software processes the IGMPv3 report that it receives from a host and builds an explicit host-tracking database that contains the following information:

The port that is connected to the host.
The channels that are reported by the host.
The filter mode for each group that is reported by the host.
The list of sources for each group that is reported by the hosts.
The router filter mode of each group.
For each group, the list of hosts that request the source.

For Cisco 7600 series routers:

This command is not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 2.
When you enable explicit host tracking and the Cisco 7600 series router is working in proxy-reporting mode, the router may not be able to track all the hosts that are behind a VLAN interface. In proxy-reporting mode, the Cisco 7600 series router forwards only the first report for a channel to the router and suppresses all other reports for the same channel.
With IGMPv3 proxy reporting, the Cisco 7600 series router does proxy reporting for unsolicited reports and reports that are received in the general query interval.
Proxy reporting is turned on by default. When you disable proxy reporting, the Cisco 7600 series router works in transparent mode, updates the IGMP snooping database as it receives reports, and forwards this information to the upstream router. The router can then explicitly track all reporting hosts.

Examples

This example shows how to enable IGMPv3-explicit host tracking on an VLAN and on a bridge domain interface:

Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking
Router(config-if)# exit 
Router(config)# bridge domain 100 
Router(config-bdomain)# 
ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking

This example shows how to disable IGMPv3-explicit host tracking on an interface:

Router(config-if)# 
no ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking

ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking limit

To limit the number of reports in the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping explicit host-tracking database, use the ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking limit command in the global configuration or bridge domain configuration mode. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking limit limit

no ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking limit

Syntax Description

limit

Maximum number of reports in the database. The range is from 1 to 128000.

Command Default

No limit is configured.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Bridge domain configuration (config-bdomain)

Command History

Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S	This command was introduced.
15.2(4)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command in global configuration mode to limit the number of reports in all explicit host-tracking databases for all interfaces on which explicit tracking is enabled for EVC-based IGMP snooping. Use this command in bridge domain configuration mode to limit the number of reports in an explicit host-tracking database for the bridge domain interface being configured.

When the explicit-tracking database exceeds the configured maximum number of reports, a syslog message is generated.

When you reduce the limit, the explicit-tracking database does not decrease in size immediately. The explicit-tracking database gradually shrinks as reporters time out.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable explicit tracking for EVC-based IGMP snooping and to limit the number of reports in the explicit-tracking database for the bridge domain interface being configured to 2000.

Router(config)# bridge domain 100 
Router(config-bdomain)# ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking
Router(config-bdomain)# ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking limit 2000

ip igmp snooping immediate-leave

To enable the IGMP version 2 (v2) immediate-leave processing for IGMP snooping, use the ip igmp snooping immediate-leave command in bridge domain configuration mode. To disable IGMP v2 immediate-leave processing, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp snooping immediate-leave

no ip igmp snooping immediate-leave

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

IGMPv2 immediate-leave processing is disabled.

Command Modes

Bridge domain configuration (config-bdomain)

Command History

Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S	This command was introduced.
15.2(4)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable IGMPv2 immediate-leave processing on the bridge-domain interface being configured.

Immediate-leave processing is supported only with IGMPv2 hosts.

IGMP snooping immediate-leave processing allows the bridge domain interface to remove a host from the forwarding-table entry without first sending group-specific queries. The host is pruned from the multicast tree for the multicast group specified in the original leave message. Immediate-leave processing ensures optimal bandwidth management for all hosts on a switched network, even when multiple multicast groups are in use simultaneously.

Use immediate-leave processing only on bridge domains where only one host is connected to each interface. If immediate-leave is enabled in bridge domains where more than one host is connected to an interface, some hosts might be dropped inadvertently.

When both immediate-leave processing and the last-member-query-count are configured, immediate-leave processing takes precedence.

The immediate-leave configuration is saved in NVRAM.

Examples

Router(config-bdomain)# ip igmp snooping immediate-leave

ip igmp snooping last-member-query-count

To configure how often Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) nnooping will send query messages in response to receiving an IGMP leave message, use the ip igmp snooping last-member-query-count command in global configuration, interface configuration, or bridge domain configuration mode. To set this count to the default value, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp last-member-query-count number

no ip igmp last-member-query-count number

Syntax Description

number

The interval at which query messages are sent, in milliseconds. The range is from 1 to 7. The default is 2.

Command Default

A query is sent every 2 milliseconds.

Command Modes

Global configuration (config)

Interface configuration (config-if)

Bridge domain (config-bdomain)

Command History

Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S	This command was introduced.
15.2(4)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S.

Usage Guidelines

When a multicast host leaves a group, the host sends an IGMP leave. To check if this host is the last to leave the group, IGMP queries are sent when the leave is seen until the last-member-query-interval timeout period expires. If no response to the last-member queries are received before the timeout period expires, the group record is deleted.

Use the ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval command to configure the timeout period.

When both IGMP snooping immediate-leave processing and the query count are configured, immediate-leave processing takes precedence.

Caution

Do not set the count to 1, because in this situation the loss of a single packet—the query packet from the router to the host or the report packet from the host to the router—may result in traffic forwarding being stopped, even if there is still a receiver. Traffic will continue to be forwarded after the next general query sent by the router, but the interval during which a receiver may not receive the query could be as long as 1 minute (with the default query interval).

The leave latency in Cisco IOS software may increase by up to one last-member-query-interval (LMQI) value when the router is processing more than one leave within a LMQI. In this case, the average leave latency is determined by the (count + 0.5) * LMQI. The result is that the default leave latency can range from 2.0 to 3.0 seconds with an average of 2.5 seconds under a higher load of IGMP leave processing. The leave latency under load for the minimum LMQI value of 100 milliseconds and a count of 1 is from 100 to 200 milliseconds, with an average of 150 milliseconds. This is done to limit the impact of higher rates of IGMP leave messages.

ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval

To configure the last member query interval for IGMP snooping, use the ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval command in the interface configuration or bridge domain configuration mode. To return to the default settings, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval interval

no ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval

Syntax Description

interval

Length of time, in milliseconds, after which the group record is deleted if no reports are received. The default is 1000. See the “Usage Guidelines” section for more information.

For interfaces, the range is from 100 to 999, in multiples of 100. If you enter an interval that is not a multiple of 100, the interval is rounded to the next lowest multiple of 100. For example, if you enter 999, the interval is rounded down to 900 milliseconds.

For bridge domain interfaces, the range is from 100 to 32767.

Command Default

The default interval is 1000 milliseconds (1 second).

Command Modes

15.2(4)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S.

Usage Guidelines

When a multicast host leaves a group, the host sends an IGMP leave. To check if this host is the last to leave the group, an IGMP query is sent out when the leave is seen and a timer is started. If no reports are received before the timer expires, the group record is deleted.

Use the ip igmp snooping last-member-query-count command to specify how often an IGMP query is sent in response to receiving an IGMP leave message.

The interval is the actual time that the Cisco 7600 series router waits for a response for the group-specific query.

If you enter an interval that is not a multiple of 100, the interval is rounded to the next lowest multiple of 100. For example, if you enter 999, the interval is rounded down to 900 milliseconds.

If you enable IGMP fast-leave processing and you enter the no igmp snooping last-member-query-interval command, the interval is set to 0 seconds; fast-leave processing always assumes higher priority.

Even though the valid interval range is 100 to 1000 milliseconds, you cannot enter a value of 1000. If you want this value, you must enter the no ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval command to return to the default value (1000 milliseconds).

Examples

This example shows how to configure the last-member-query-interval to 200 milliseconds:

Router(config-if)# 
ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval 200

ip igmp snooping limit

To limit the number of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) groups or channels allowed on an interface or an Ethernet Flow Point (EFP), use the ip igmp snooping limit command in the interface configuration, bridge domain configuration, or Ethernet service configuration mode. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.

ip igmp snooping limit num [ except { acl-num | acl-name } ] [ vlan vlan-id ]

15.2(4)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S.

Usage Guidelines

Note

If joins are received for (*,G1) and (S1,G1) on the same interface, these joins are counted as two separate joins. If the limit on an interface has been set to two, and the joins are received for (*,G1) and (S1,G1), all other joins (for groups/channels different from these two) are discarded.

IGMP filtering allows you to configure filters on a per-port basis, a per-Switched Virtual Interface (SVI) basis, or both for PM-based IGMP Snooping, or on a per-bridge domain or per-EFP basis for EVC-based IGMP Snooping.

IGMP filtering is supported for IPv4 only.

You can enter this command based on the following:

Per-SVI basis.
Per-Layer 2-switchport basis.
Per-Layer 2-VLAN basis. The vlan keyword allows you to apply the filter only to the IGMP packets arriving on the specified Layer 2 VLAN if the switch port is a trunk port.
Per-SVI basis as a default filter for all switch ports in access mode under that SVI and for all trunk ports that carry the corresponding VLAN for that VLAN only.
Per-switch port basis as follows:
- If the switch port is in access mode, this filter overrides any default SVI filter.
- If the switch port is in trunk mode, this filter acts as a default for all VLANs on that trunk and overrides any default SVI filter.
Per-Layer 2-VLAN basis. The filter applies only if the switch port is in trunk mode, and overrides any trunk default filter.

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(14)SX	Support for this command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(17d)SXB	Support for this command on the Supervisor Engine 2 was extended to Release 12.2(17d)SXB.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

Enter this command in VLAN interface configuration mode only.

You enable IGMP snooping on the Cisco 7600 series router, and disable PIM on the VLAN.

Configure the VLAN in global configuration mode.

Configure an IP address on the VLAN interface. When enabled, the IGMP-snooping querier uses the IP address as the query source address. If no IP address is configured on the VLAN interface, the IGMP-snooping querier does not start. The IGMP-snooping querier disables itself if you clear the IP address. When enabled, the IGMP-snooping querier restarts if you configure an IP address.

The IGMP-snooping querier supports IGMPv2.

When enabled, the IGMP-snooping querier does the following:

Does not start if it detects IGMP traffic from a multicast router.
Starts after 60 seconds when no IGMP traffic is detected from a multicast router.
Disables itself if it detects IGMP traffic from a multicast router.

QoS does not support IGMP packets when IGMP snooping is enabled.

You can enable the IGMP-snooping querier on all the Cisco 7600 series routers in the VLAN. One Cisco 7600 series router is elected as the querier.

If multicast routers are not present on the VLAN or subnet, the Cisco 7600 series router becomes the IGMP querier for the VLAN when you enable the IGMP-snooping querier.

If you disable the IGMP-snooping querier, IGMP snooping functions only when you configure PIM in the subnet.

You can enter the ip igmp snooping querier command at any time, but the IGMP-snooping querier starts only when no other multicast routers are present in the VLAN or subnet.

You can use this command as an alternative to configuring PIM in a subnet; use this command when the multicast traffic does not need to be routed but you would like support for IGMP snooping on Layer 2 interfaces in your network.

Examples

This example shows how to enable the IGMP-snooping querier on the VLAN:

Router(config-if)#
 ip igmp snooping querier

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(18)SXE2	Support for this command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

There are two source-only timers that run in an alternating fashion; the source_only_age_timer and the source_only_delete_timer. The value that you configure by entering the ip igmp snooping source-only-learning age-timer command sets the source_only_age_timer. The source_only_delete_timer has a fixed, nonconfigurable value of 5 minutes (300 seconds).

The expiration of one timer starts the other timer. At any time, only one timer is running.

Setting the age-timer to 0 stops the flooding in the source-only VLAN.

Note

Setting the age-timer to a nonzero value causes flooding to occur every x (configured value) + 5 minutes (source_only_delete_timer) interval.

Examples

This example shows how to flood multicast packets periodically:

Router(config)#
 ip igmp snooping source-only-learning age-timer 300

This example shows how to return to the default settings:

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(14)SX	Support for this command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(18)SXE	This command was deprecated.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 2.

When you configure SSM-safe reporting, IGMPv3 becomes the group mode in the Cisco 7600 series router or the router even in the presence of IGMPv2 hosts.

A Layer-3 SVI must be configured for any Layer 2 VLAN that supports mixed-IGMPv3 receivers.

Within an SSM group, an IGMPv2 host does not receive the requested traffic until an IGMPv3 host that is connected to the same Cisco 7600 series router is receiving the same group traffic. When the last IGMPv3 host leaves the group, the IGMPv2 host stops receiving traffic for that group.

Examples

This example shows how to enable SSM-safe reporting:

Router(config-if)# 
ip igmp snooping ssm-safe-reporting

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to disable or enable TCN flooding on an EFP. TCN flooding is enabled on all EFPs by default.

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) operates on the virtual port level. When a virtual port receives a TCN event, all EFPs that operate under that virtual port are identified, along with the bridge domain to which the EFP belongs. Flooding is started to all EFPs on the bridge domain except the ones on which TCN flooding is explicitly disabled. This flooding can exceed the capacity of the virtual port and cause packet loss. Use the no ip igmp snooping tcn flood command to disable the flooding of multicast traffic on an EFP during a spanning-tree TCN event .

Examples

Router(config)# interface BDI100
Router(config-if)# service instance 333 ethernet
Router(config-if-srv)# no ip igmp snooping tcn flood

ip igmp snooping tnc flood query count

12.2(18)SXE	Support for this command was introduced on the Supervisor Engine 720.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.

Usage Guidelines

This command is not supported on Cisco 7600 series routers that are configured with a Supervisor Engine 2.

By default, the locally configured static SSM mappings and the DNS server are queried. Local configured mappings have priority over dynamic mappings. If a DNS server is not available, you may want to disable DNS server lookups. To disable DNS lookups, use the no ip igmp ssm-map query dns command.

If a DNS server is not available, a locally configured static SSM mapping database is used to query. A database query uses the group address and receives the source list in return. As soon as the static SSM mappings are configured, the maps are used for the lookups. To build a static SSM mappings database, use the following commands:

ip igmp ssm-map static acl-1 source-1-ip-address

ip igmp ssm-map static acl-2 source-2-ip-address

The ACL specifies the group or groups that have to be mapped to the listed source. Because the content servers may send out more then one stream with the same source address, the access list is used to group the multicast destination addresses together. You can use wildcards if the addresses are contiguous.

If multiple sources have to be joined for a multicast group address, you must place the group in all ACLs that are associated with the source address. In the example above, if group G must join sources 1 and 2, the group address must be placed in both acl-1 and acl-2.

When you enable SSM mapping using the ip igmp ssm-map enable command, but the source mapping list is empty for the group, enter the no ip igmp ssm-map query dns command. The ip igmp ssm-map enablecommand is supported on statically configured SSM-mapped source entries only.

Examples

This example shows how to enable an SSM group to the source mapping:

Router(config)# 
ip igmp ssm-map enable

This example shows how to enable DNS lookups:

Router(config)# 
ip igmp ssm-map query dns

15.0(1)SY	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)SY.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable SSM mapping for groups in the configured SSM range. SSM mapping is applied only to received Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) version 1 or IGMP version 2 membership reports.

SSM mapping is compatible with URL Rendezvous Directory (URD) and IGMPv3 lite. SSM mapping is needed only in the router connecting to the receivers. No support is needed in any other routers in the network. SSM mapping can be configured only globally and cannot be configured per interface.

Use the vrf vrf-namekeyword and argument to enable SSM mapping for a particular VRF.

15.0(1)SY	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)SY.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to enable DNS-based SSM mapping. Disable DNS-based SSM mapping if you want to rely only on statically configured SSM mapping. By default, the router will use both DNS-based SSM mapping and statically configured SSM mapping. If DNS-based SSM mapping is not explicitly disabled, the router will first try to find any statically mapped sources for the group and, if it does not find any, will use DNS-based SSM mapping.

This command is enabled by default when the ip igmp ssm-map enablecommand is configured. Use the no ip igmp ssm-map query dnscommand to disable DNS-based SSM mapping. When DNS-based SSM mapping is disabled, SSM mapping is performed only on SSM sources mapped by the ip igmp ssm-map static command.

To configure DNS-based SSM mapping, the router needs to find at least one correctly configured DNS server. The router can discover the DNS server by configuring the ip name-server global configuration command or by being directly connected to the DNS server.

Note

It is recommended to always configure the IP addresses of the DNS servers with the ip name-server command to prevent the router from sending each DNS query broadcast to all connected interfaces.

Only the noformof this command is saved to the running configuration.

Use the vrf vrf-namekeyword and argument to enable DNS-based SSM mapping for a particular VRF.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure DNS-based SSM mapping:

ip name-server 10.0.0.0
ip igmp ssm-map enable
ip igmp ssm-map query dns

The following example shows how to configure DNS-based SSM mapping for a VRF named vrf1:

15.0(1)SY	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)SY.

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip igmp ssm-map staticcommand to configure static SSM mappings. Before configuring static SSM mappings, you must first globally enable SSM mapping with the ip igmp ssm-map enable command. When static SSM mappings are configured and the router receives an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) membership report for a group G in the configured SSM range, the router tries to determine the source address or addresses associated with the group G by walking the configured ip igmp ssm-map staticcommands. If the group G matches the ACL in a configured static SSM mapping, then the source address (specified for the source-address argument in the ip igmp ssm-map staticcommand) associated with the SSM mapping is statically mapped to the group G. If multiple static SSM mappings are configured, and a group G is permitted by multiple ACLs, the source addresses associated with all matching ACLs in configured SSM mappings are used (that is, the group G is statically mapped to those sources). The maximum number of configured static SSM mappings for each group is 20.

When both static SSM mappings and Domain Name System (DNS) SSM mappings are configured, static SSM mappings take precedence over the DNS mappings. If a router receives an IGMP membership report for a group G that does not match any of ACLs configured in static SSM mappings, the router then will revert to querying the DNS for the address mapping.

Use the vrf vrf-namekeyword and argument to configure SSM static mapping for a particular MVRF.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable static SSM mapping. In this example, the router is configured to statically map groups that match ACL 11 to source address 172.16.8.11 and to statically map groups that match ACL 10 to source address 172.16.8.10.

ip igmp ssm-map enable
ip igmp ssm-map static 11 172.16.8.11
ip igmp ssm-map static 10 172.16.8.10

The following example shows how to enable static SSM mapping for an MVRF. In this example, the router is configured to statically maps groups within the MVRF named test that match ACL 12 to source address 172.16.8.12.

ip igmp ssm-map enable
ip igmp ssm-map vrf test static 12 172.16.8.12

Usage Guidelines

Use the ip igmp static-group command to configure static group membership entries on an interface. When you configure this command, packets to the group are fast-switched out the interface, provided that packets were received on the correct reverse path forwarding (RPF) interface. Once configured, static group membership entries are added to the IGMP cache and mroute table.

Configuring the ip igmp static-group command is unlike configuring the ip igmp join-group command, which allows the router to join the multicast group. This configuration of the ip igmp static-group command would cause the upstream routers to maintain the multicast routing table information for that group, which would ensure that all the paths to that multicast group are active.

If you configure the ip igmp join-group command for the same group address as the ip igmp static-group command, the ip igmp join-group command takes precedence, and the group behaves like a locally joined group.

Use the ip igmp static-group command with the ssm-map keyword to configure static traffic forwarding with SSM mapping on the last hop router. Static traffic forwarding can be used in conjunction with SSM mapping to statically forward SSM traffic for certain groups. When static traffic forwarding with SSM mapping is configured, the last hop router uses Domain Name System (DNS)-based SSM mapping to determine the sources associated with a group. The resulting (S, G) channels are then statically forwarded.

Use the ip igmp static-group class-map command with the class-map keyword and class-map-name argument to attach an IGMP static group class map to an interface. Once attached, all groups entries that are defined in the class map become static members on the interface and are added to the IGMP cache and to the mroute table.

For Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)T and later releases

The MFIB maintains a (*, G/m) entry that handles dense mode packets. When the first dense mode packet arrives on a router, it matches this (*, G/m) entry. The packet is punted to the route processor only if at least one of the following two conditions is met: The source of the packet is directly connected to this router or the interface on which the packet was received has at least one PIM neighbor. If neither of these conditions is met, the (*, G/m) entry in the MFIB drops the packet without punting it. If the interface of a last hop router does not have any PIM neighbors and does not have a receiver, configure the ip igmp static-group command with the * keyword before any receiver joins (before any (*, G) state is created on the router) to simulate the presence of a receiver for all multicast group addresses on the interface, causing the interface to be added to the olist of the mroute entry and preventing incoming last hop router traffic for a dense mode group on the interface from being dropped.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure group address 239.100.100.101 on Ethernet interface 0:

interface ethernet 0

Syntax Description

count count	Specifies the number of queries needed to stop flooding multicast traffic after a TCN event; valid values are from 1 to 10.
interval interval	Specifies the time until the IGMP TCN querier expires; valid values are from 1 to 255 seconds.

Command Default

D isabled

Command Modes

Command History

Release	Modification
12.2(18)ZY	Support for this command was introduced.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2S	This command was modified. Support was added for this command in virtual network interface configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

The ip igmp tcn querycommand applies only to Layer 2 switch ports and EtherChannels; it does not apply to routed ports, VLAN interfaces, or Layer 3 channels.

Use ip igmp tcn query count command to control the time that multicast traffic is flooded after a TCN event. If you set the TCN flood query count to 1 by using the ip igmp tcn query count command, the flooding stops after receiving 1 general query. If you set the count to 7, the flooding of multicast traffic due to the TCN event lasts until 7 general queries are received. Groups are relearned based on the general queries received during the TCN event.

Examples

This example shows how to set the number of queries to be executed:

Router(config)# 
ip igmp tcn query count 5
Router(config)#

This example shows how to set the time until the query expires to 120 seconds:

Router(config)# 
ip igmp tcn query interval 120 
Router(config)#

ip igmp unidirectional-link
