IGMP Querier
IGMP Querier allows the switch to perform the multicast router (Mrouter) role and provide Mrouter
discovery when the network or virtual LAN (VLAN) does not have a router.
discovery when the network or virtual LAN (VLAN) does not have a router.
When IGMP Querier is enabled on a VLAN, the switch acts as an IGMP querier in a Layer 2
network environment. The IGMP querier periodically broadcasts IGMP Queries and listens for
hosts to respond with IGMP Reports indicating their IGMP group memberships. If multiple
Mrouters exist on a given network, the Mrouters elect one as the querier, which performs all
periodic membership queries. The election process can be based on IPv4 address or MAC address.

Note –
When IGMP Querier is enabled on a VLAN, the switch performs the role of IGMP querier
only if it meets the IGMP querier election criteria.
Follow this procedure to configure IGMP Querier.
1.
Enable IGMP and configure the source IPv4 address for IGMP Querier on a VLAN.
2.
Enable IGMP Querier on the VLAN.
3.
Configure the querier election type and define the address.
4.
Verify the configuration.
