5.15.18 ip snooping querier
Function
The IGMP Querier function sends an IGMP General Query message to each terminal node instead of the multicast router if no
multicast router exists on the network segment.
This command enables the IGMP querier. The query message transmission interval (called “Query interval”) is calculated
based on the query message transmission frequency and the group valid time interval (called “Group member interval”) as
follows.
z Query interval = (Group-membership-interval – 10) / send-query-count (seconds)
The device does not send Query messages when there is a multicast router on the network.
Use the no form to return to the default setup.
