igmp max-response-time

Function

The igmp max-response-time command sets the maximum response time of IGMP Query messages on an interface.

The undo igmp max-response-time command restores the default setting.

By default, the maximum response time of IGMP Query messages on an interface is 10s.

Format

igmp max-response-time interval

undo igmp max-response-time

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
interval

Specifies the maximum response time of IGMP Query messages.

The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 125, in seconds.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The maximum response time is used to control the deadline for user hosts to send Report messages. In practice, the response time on a host is a random value from 0 to the maximum response time. The shorter the response time is, the more quickly the IGMP device obtains multicast member information and the more the bandwidth and Router resources are consumed. To set the maximum response time, run the igmp max-response-time command.

After receiving an IGMP Query message, a user host starts a timer for each group that it joins. The value of the timer ranges from 0 to the maximum response time. When the timer expires, the host sends Report messages.

The maximum response time can be used to control the deadline for sending Report messages by the user host. If the maximum response time is properly set, user hosts can rapidly respond to Query messages, and traffic congestion caused by a large number of hosts simultaneously sending response packets is prevented.

The function of the igmp max-response-time command is the same as the function of the max-response-time command in the IGMP view. The configuration in the IGMP view is effective for all interfaces, whereas the configuration in the interface view is effective only for the specified interface. The configuration in the interface view takes precedence over the configuration in the IGMP view. The configuration in the IGMP view is used only when the configuration in the interface view is not available.

Example

# On GE 0/1/0, specify 8s as the maximum response time of IGMP Query messages.

[*HUAWEI] interface GigabitEthernet 0/1/0
[*HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] undo portswitch
[*HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet0/1/0] igmp max-response-time 8
