igmp query ip-source-policy

Function

The igmp query ip-source-policy command configures source address-based IGMP Query message filtering.

The undo igmp query ip-source-policy command restores the default configuration.

Format

igmp query ip-source-policy basic-acl-number

undo igmp query ip-source-policy

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
basic-acl-number Specifies the number of a basic ACL, which defines the range of source addresses. The value is an integer ranging from 2000 to 2999.

Views

Interface view

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

By default, no source address-based IGMP Query message filtering is configured.

Usage Scenario

Source address-based IGMP Query message filtering prevents a device from forging IGMP Query messages with small IP addresses to cause the actual querier to become invalid. As a result, group members cannot promptly leave and traffic waste occurs. After you run the igmp query ip-source-policy command to configure source address-based IGMP Query message filtering, the device filters out the IGMP Query messages whose source addresses do not match a specified ACL rule. In this way, querier election is controlled.

IGMP Query messages are encapsulated into IP messages. This command is used to filter the source addresses in IP headers.

After you configure source address-based IGMP Query message filtering on an interface, the interface filters out the IGMP Query messages whose source addresses do not match a specified ACL rule.

Prerequisites

Multicast has been enabled using the multicast routing-enable command.

Configuration Impact

The latest configuration overrides the previous configuration.

Precautions

The igmp query ip-source-policy command works with the acl command. You can configure the source address of IGMP Query messages by specifying the source parameter in the rule command in the basic ACL view.

Example

# In a public network instance, configure GE0/0/0 to permit IGMP Query messages with the source address 10.10.1.2, but to drop IGMP Query messages with the source address 10.10.1.1.
<sysname> system-view
[sysname] multicast routing-enable
[sysname] acl number 2001
[sysname-acl-basic-2001] rule permit source 10.10.1.2 0
[sysname-acl-basic-2001] rule deny source 10.10.1.1 0
[sysname-acl-basic-2001] quit
[sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/0
[sysname-GigabitEthernet0/0/0] igmp query ip-source-policy 2001
