Hardcoding a switch to be the IGMP Querier

How do you configure a specific HP8212zl or HP3500zl to be the IGMP Querier for the network

Re: Hardcoding a switch to be the IGMP Querier

Here are some notes about IGMP in ProCurve switches:
-A ProCurve switch can become a Querier for vlan if it has ip address in that vlan.

-If a multicast router is present, it becomes the Querier, means the router becomes Querier not the switch.

-Commmand #no ip igmp querier
should be configured under the vlan that has an ip address and in which you don't want the swtich to become the Querier.

 

For details on the Querier election you can check the Multicast and Routing Guide
