The following lists the maximum number of IGMP entries allowed on each model by default:
  • S5720-LI, S5720S-LI: 1022
  • S5731-S, S5731S-S, S5720I-SI, S5720S-SI, S5720-SI: 1024
  • S5735-L, S5735S-L, S5735S-L-M, S5735-S, S5735S-S, S5735-S-I: 1500

Parameters

Parameter Description Value

number

Specifies the maximum number of IGMP entries that can be created on the switch.

The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to The maximum number of IGMP entries allowed by default.

NOTE:

The value range of S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731S-H, S5732-H, S6720-HI, S6730S-H, and S6730-H are expanded after the high specification mode is configured for multicast forwarding using the set multicast forwarding-table super-mode command. The actual value range depends on the specification of the device.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When the number of IGMP entries reaches the limit, the system does not create any new IGMP entries. To enable the switch to create new IGMP entries, delete unnecessary entries or increase the limit. Alternatively, you can configure static IGMP entries or source-groups.

The number of IGMP entries is counted as follows:
  • Each (*, G) entry is counted as one entry.

  • Each (S, G) entry is counted as one entry.

  • Each (*, G) entry established with SSM mapping is counted as one entry.

Precautions

You can also run the limit (IGMP view) command in the IGMP view to set the maximum number of IGMP group memberships in the system. If both the igmp global limit and limit (IGMP view) commands are run, the smaller value takes effect.

Example

# Set the maximum number of IGMP entries that can be created on the switch to 248.
