Configuring IGMP Filtering
Setting the Maximum Number of IGMP Groups
You can set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2 interface can join. 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.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to apply an IGMP profile to a switch port:
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 the number of IGMP groups that an interface can join to 25.
Switch# config t
Switch(config)# interface fastethernet0/12
Switch(config-if)# ip igmp max-groups 25
Switch(config-if)# end
Switch# show running-config interface fastethernet0/12

Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Enter interface configuration mode, and enter the physical interface to
configure, for example gigabitethernet0/1. The interface must be a
Layer 2 port.
Step 3
ip igmp max-groups number Set the maximum number of IGMP groups that the interface can join.
The range is from 0 to 4294967294. The default is to have no maximum
set.
Step 4
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-configuration interface
interface-id
Verify the configuration.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
