The undo timer query command restores the default configuration.

Format

undo timer query

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
interval	Specifies the interval for sending IGMP general query message.	The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 18000 seconds.

Views

IGMP view

Default Level

2: Configuration level

Usage Guidelines

By default, the interval for sending IGMP general query messages is 60 seconds.

The function of this command is the same as that of the igmp timer query command used in the interface view, except the function range. The configuration in the IGMP view is globally valid in the instance, whereas the configuration in the interface view is valid only for the current interface. The system prefers the configuration in the system view. The configuration in the IGMP view is used only when the configuration in the interface view is not done.

Example

# In the IGMP view, configure the interval for sending IGMP general query messages to 125 seconds.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] multicast routing-enable
[sysname] igmp
[sysname-igmp] timer query 125
