Configuring IGMP snooping querier

If your multicast traffic is not routed because Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and IGMP are
not configured, use the IGMP snooping querier in a VLAN.

IGMP snooping querier sends out IGMP queries to trigger IGMP responses from switches that wish
to receive IP multicast traffic. IGMP snooping listens for these responses to map the appropriate
forwarding addresses.

Use the following procedure to map forwarding addresses to the appropriate interfaces.

1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface workspace.

2. Under the node, include the / hierarchy of node elements.

3. Under the node, include the leaf element, and set it to the VLAN number

whose members you want to query.

4. Under the node, include the node.

5. Under the node, include the node element from the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-igmp-snooping namespace.

6. Under the IGMP node, specify the following leaf elements to configure the IGMP snooping

querier. Because only one attribute can be configured in one request, you must make separate
requests for each attribute.

a. In the element, specify a value in seconds in the range of 1 through

18000.

The default value is 125.

b. In the element, specify a value in milliseconds in the range

1000 through 25500.

The default value is 1000.

c. In the element, specify a value in seconds in the range 1

through 25.

The default value is 10.

7. Under the node, include the node.

8. Under the node, include the empty node to activate the IGMP snooping

querier functionality for the VLAN.

In this example, this basic NETCONF request would be repeated for each of the attributes. This
example sets the value.
