Read the whitepaper, thanks - but what is the single command to enable IGMP Plus?
- RandyLFeb 21, 2020NETGEAR Expert
Hi c_b,
The M4300 and M4500 has the IGMP-plus commands in the latest firmware release. Please keep in mind that the single (CLI) command is to configure IGMP and the other IGMP options on the specified configured VLAN.
igmp-plus<vlan-id> This command enables IGMP enhancements for the specified VLAN to support audio and video devices in an SDVoE environment.
Format igmp-plus<vlan-id>
no igmp-plus<vlan-id>Default igmp-plus 1
Mode Global Config
Thanks,
Randy

Please could you confirm the exact version that includes the new command? Thanks.

The IGMP+ command doesn't work on the latest version, 12.0.9.4. Which version supports the command?
Thanks.

Hi c_b,
Sorry for the confusion. Currently, only the M4500 has the 'igmp-plus <VLAN ID>' command and it available in the latest release (7.0.0.16).
Please see the command reference for the M4500:https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/M4500/M4500_CLI_EN.pdf
The M4300 with the current release (12.0.9.4), does not contain the 'igmp-plus <VLANID>' command. With version 12.0.9.3 contains enhancements for IGMP commands. Below is the enhancement and new commands:
Enhancements to IGMP for M4300 for 12.0.9.3 (https://kb.netgear.com/000061381/M4300-Firmware-Version-12-0-9-3):
- IGMP Snooping enhancement so that NETGEAR switches can be used as a plug-and-play for audio and video applications.
1. set igmp flood-report
2. set igmp exclude-mrouter-intf
3. set igmp fast-leave auto-assignmentThe ETA for the command 'igmp-plus <VLAN ID>' on the M4300 is set to be released in 2 weeks (12.0.11.x).
We'll provide a link to the new image when available.
Thanks.
