Enabling the IGMP Version for Specific Ports Within a Virtual Routing Interface

The IGMP version can be configured on RUCKUS devices for a specific port which is a member of a virtual Ethernet interface, even when the virtual interface is configured with a different IGMP version.

When the IGMP version is configured for a specific port or range of ports, the setting overrides the IGMP version configured for the virtual interface. The following task steps show how to configure the IGMP version on a virtual interface and then configure a different IGMP version for a range of ports that are members of that virtual interface.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Configure a virtual interface. 
    device(config)# interface ve 3
    This example enables IGMP version 3. If you do not specify an IGMP version, the default version is IGMPv2.
  3. Enable IGMP version 2 for the virtual interface. 
    device(config-vif-3)# ip igmp version 2
  4. Enable IGMP version 3 for specific ports within the virtual Ethernet interface. 
    device(config-vif-3)# ip igmp port-version 3 ethernet 1/1/3 to ethernet 1/1/7 ethernet 1/2/9
    In this example, IGMPv3 is enabled on Ethernet ports 1/1/3 through 1/1/7 and 1/2/9. All other ports in this virtual Ethernet interface are configured with IGMPv2.

The following example enables IGMPv2 on a virtual Ethernet interface and enables IGMPv3 on specific Ethernet ports. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ve 3
device(config-vif-3)# ip igmp version 2
device(config-vif-3)# ip igmp port-version 3 ethernet 1/1/3 to ethernet 1/1/7 ethernet 1/2/9
