(Optional) Configuring the Router-Alert Option in IGMP Messages

Context

By default, the switch does not check whether IGMP messages contain the Router-Alert option in the header and sends all the IGMP messages to the upper-layer routing protocol. To improve device performance, reduce transmission cost, and enhance protocol security, configure the switch to discard IGMP messages without the Router-Alert option.

By default, the switch sends IGMP messages with the Router-Alert option.

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run vsi vsi-name

    The VSI view is displayed.

  3. Run igmp-snooping require-router-alert

  4. Run igmp-snooping send-router-alert

    The switch is configured to send IGMP messages with the Router-Alert option in the IP header.
