Layer 3 IGMP (Query used with Multicast Routing)

– 549 –

The system periodically checks the multicast route table for (*,G) any-

source multicast forwarding entries. When changes occur in the

downstream IGMP groups, an IGMP state change report is created and

sent to the upstream router.

If there is an IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 querier on the upstream network, then

the proxy device will act as an IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 host on the upstream

interface accordingly, and set the v1/v2 query present timer to indicate

that there is an active v1/v2 querier in this VLAN. Otherwise, it will act

as an IGMPv3 host.

Multicast routing protocols are not supported when IGMP proxy service

is enabled.

Only one upstream interface is supported on the system.

A maximum of 1024 multicast entries are supported.
