In the configuration, make sure that the IGMP general query interval is larger than the

maximum response time for IGMP general queries. Otherwise, multicast group members may

be deleted by mistake.

Configuring Source IP Address of IGMP Queries

Upon receiving an IGMP query whose source IP address is 0.0.0.0 on a port, the switch does

not enlist that port as a dynamic router port. This may prevent multicast forwarding entries from

being correctly created at the data link layer and cause multicast traffic forwarding failure in the

end. When a Layer 2 device acts as an IGMP-Snooping querier, to avoid the aforesaid problem,

you are commended to configure a non-all-zero IP address as the source IP address of IGMP

queries.

Follow these steps to configure source IP address of IGMP queries:
