Fix Recommendation

Configure the DR on a global or interface basis to limit the number of mroute states resulting from IGMP or MLD membership reports.

R3(config)#int g0/0
R3(config-if)#ip igmp limit 2

Check Contents

Review the DR configuration to verify that it is limiting the number of mroute states via IGMP or MLD.

Verify IGMP limits have been configured globally or on each host-facing interface via the ip igmp limit command as shown in the example.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address 10.3.3.3 255.255.255.0



ip igmp limit nn

If the DR is not limiting multicast join requests via IGMP or MLD on a global or interfaces basis, this is a finding.
