Parameter Description

responsible for asking hosts if they want to receive multicast
traffic.
IGMP Query Count The maximum number of queries issued for which there has been
no response before the switch takes action to solicit reports.
(Range: 2 - 10.)
IGMP Report Delay The time (in seconds) between receiving an IGMP Report for an

Query out of that port and removes the entry from its list.
