The robustness value is used in calculating the appropriate range for

other IGMP variables, such as the Group Membership Interval, as well

as the Other Querier Present Interval, and the Startup Query Count

(RFC 3376).

Routers adopt the robustness value from the most recently received

query. If the querier's robustness variable (QRV) is zero, indicating that

the QRV field does not contain a declared robustness value, the switch

will set the robustness variable to the value statically configured by this

command. If the QRV exceeds 7, the maximum value of the QRV field,

the robustness value is set to zero, meaning that this device will not

advertise a QRV in any query messages it subsequently sends.

ip igmp static-group

This command configures the router to be a static member of a multicast

group on the specified VLAN interface. Use the no form to remove the

static mapping.

group-address - IP multicast group address. (The group addresses

specified cannot be in the range of 224.0.0.1 - 239.255.255.255.)
source-address - Source address for a multicast server transmitting

traffic to the corresponding multicast group address.

Group addresses within the entire multicast group address range can

be specified with this command. However, if any address within the

source-specific multicast (SSM) address range (default 232/8) is

specified, but no source address is included in the command, the

request to join the multicast group will fail unless the next node up the

reverse path tree has statically mapped this group to a specific source

address. Also, if an address outside of the SSM address range is

specified, and a specific source address is included in the command, the
