Query messages

The IGMP query source address is configurable at two hierarchal levels. It can be configured globally at each router instance IGMP level and can be configured at individual at the group-interface level. The group-interface level overrides the src-ip address configured at the router instance level.

By default, subscribers with IGMP policies send IGMP queries with an all zero SRC IP address (0.0.0.0). However, some systems only accept and process IGMP query messages with non-zero SRC IP addresses. This feature allows the BNG to inter-operate with such systems.
