Configuring IP Multicast

691

Version — The version of IGMP configured on the selected interface.
Query Interval (secs) — The frequency at which IGMP host-query packets are transmitted on the

selected interface.

Query Max Response Time (1/10 of a second) — The maximum query response time advertised in

IGMPv2 queries sent from the selected interface.

Robustness — The robustness parameter for the selected interface. This variable allows tuning for the

expected packet loss on a subnet. If a subnet is expected to be lossy, the robustness variable may be

increased. IGMP is robust to (robustness variable-1) packet losses.

Startup Query Interval (secs) — The interval at which startup queries are sent on the selected

interface.

Startup Query Count — The number of queries to be sent on startup.

Last Member Query Interval (1/10 of a second) — The last member query interval is the maximum

response time inserted into group-specific queries sent in response to leave group messages, and is also

the amount of time between group-specific query messages. This value may be tuned to modify the

leave latency of the network. A reduced value results in reduced time to detect the loss of the last

member of a group. This value is not used for IGMP version 1.

Last Member Query Count — The number of queries to be sent on receiving a leave group report.

• Interface Statistics
Querier — The address of the IGMP querier on the IP subnet to which the selected interface is

attached.

Querier Status — Indicates whether the selected interface is in querier or non querier mode.

Querier Up Time (secs) — The time in seconds since the IGMP interface querier was last changed.

Querier Expiry Time (secs) — The time in seconds remaining before the other querier present timer

expires. If the local system is the querier, this is zero.

Wrong Version Queries — The number of queries that have been received on the selected interface

with an IGMP version that does not match the IGMP version configured for the interface, over the

lifetime of the entry. IGMP requires that all routers on a LAN be configured to run the same version of

IGMP. Therefore, a configuration error is indicated if any queries are received with the wrong version

number.

Number of Joins — The number of times a group membership has been added on the selected

interface; that is, the number of times an entry for this interface has been added to the cache table.

This gives an indication of the amount of IGMP activity on the interface.

Number of Groups — The current number of entries for the selected interface in the cache table.
