The IGMP version is set for each VLAN, and cannot be configured separately for
each Mrouter.

Verify the configuration.
ex2500(config)# show ip igmp mrouter
IGMP Querier
When a network or VLAN does not have a router to handle the Mrouter role and
provide Mrouter discovery on switches, the IGMP Querier feature allows the
EX2500 switch to perform that function.
When IGMP Querier is enabled on a VLAN, the switch acts as an IGMP querier in a
Layer 2 network environment. The IGMP querier periodically broadcasts IGMP
Queries and listens for hosts to respond with IGMP Reports indicating their IGMP
group memberships. If multiple Mrouters exist on a given network, the Mrouters
elect one as the querier, which performs all periodic membership queries.
Follow this procedure to configure IGMP Querier.
1.
Configure IGMP Snooping on a VLAN interface.
ex2500(config)# ip igmp snoop source-ip vlan 2 10.10.10.1
2.
Enable IGMP Querier on the VLAN.
ex2500(config)# ip igmp querier vlan 2 querier
ex2500(config-vlan)# enable
3.
Configure the querier election type and define the address.
ex2500(config-vlan)# ip igmp querier vlan 2 querier-type ipv4 20.20.20.1
ex2500(config-vlan)# exit
4.
Verify the configuration.
ex2500(config)# show ip igmp querier vlan 2

NOTE:
When IGMP Querier is enabled on a VLAN, the switch performs the role of
IGMP querier only if it meets the IGMP querier election criteria.
