Solaris 10 conforms to the standards. Per the standards (see RFC 3376 section 7), hosts and routers speak their highest known version by default. If Solaris (as a host) sees an IGMPv2 or IGMPv1 query on an interface, then it knows that there's an IGMPv2 or IGMPv1 router on that interface, and it switches down to that version. It's all automatic. It's not _supposed_ to be "tuned" or need to be modified by hand. (But see CR 6482459.) Asking about switching the version number implies that either you've got broken peers that don't speak IGMPv2 correctly (and that should be repaired), or that you're encountering some sort of bug in Solaris where the compatibility switch isn't happening. Is either the case? Do you have snoop traces showing the problem? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
