The show igmp command displays the IGMP status.
show igmp
The following command sequence illustrates how to enable and query the status of IGMP.
ML1600# igmp
ML1600(igmp)## igmp enable
IGMP is enabled
ML1600(igmp)## show igmp
IGMP State : Enabled
ImmediateLeave : Disabled
Querier : Enabled
Querier Interval : 125
Querier Response Interval : 10
Multicasting Unknown Streams : Enable
ML1600(igmp)## igmp disable
IGMP is disabled
ML1600(igmp)## show igmp
IGMP State : Disabled
ImmediateLeave : Disabled
Querier : Enabled
Querier Interval : 125
Querier Response Interval : 10
Multicasting Unknown Streams : Enable
ML1600(igmp)##
The output of the show igmp command provides the following useful information:
• IGMP State shows if IGMP is turned on (Enable) or off (Disable).
• Immediate Leave provides a mechanism for a particular host that wants to leave
a multicast group. It disables the port (where the leave message is received) ability
to transmit multicast traffic.
• Querier shows where the switch is acting a querier or a non-querier. In the
example above the switch is the querier.
• Querier Interval shows the time period in seconds on which the switch sends
general host-query messages.
• Querier Response Interval specifies maximum amount of time in seconds that
can elapse between when the querier sends a host-query message and when it
receives a response from a host.
• Multicasting Unknown Streams shows if the control of multicast streams is on
(Enabled) or off (Disabled).
The show-group command displays the multicast groups.
