2.2.6 Configuring IGMP Querier

In an IGMP-enabled multicast network, a query multicast router or Layer 3 multicast
switch is specifically responsible for sending IGMP query packets.
However, the Layer 2 multicast switch does not support the IGMP feature. Therefore,
the Layer 2 multicast switch cannot implement the querier feature and cannot send
general group query packets. By configuring IGMP Snooping queriers, you can enable
the Layer 2 multicast switch to send general group query packets actively at data link
layer, and thereby establish and maintain the multicast forwarding entries.
Additionally, you can enable the Layer 2 switch to send the source addresses,
maximum query response time, and query interval of general group query packets,
