1) Scenario
I'd like to set a XGS3700 switch as the querier and to implement IGMP Snooping only on VLAN10. Here is my settings:
Then I connected my PC in port 1 on VLAN10, but somehow it didn't receive any IGMP General Query packets from the switch which is causing my multicast streams to age out.
Why is my PC under VLAN10 not receiving General Queries?
1.2 Solution
If we want to fix IGMP Snooping in a particular VLAN, there must be an interface IP for the VLAN to send the General Query packets to.
In this case, there is no interface IP configured for VLAN10.
Navigate to:
SYSTEM > IP Setup > Default Management IP Address
Setup a static address on VLAN10 (we take 192.168.10.1 because there is no VLAN10 configured):
SYSTEM > IP Setup > Management IP Address
Then configure the Management IP Address to be reached on VLAN10:
Verification:
Since interface IP been set for VLAN10, each device will receive IGMP General Query packets with source 192.168.10.1 accordingly.

Step by step guide:
If we want to fix IGMP Snooping in a particular VLAN, there must be an interface IP for the VLAN to send the General Query packets to.
In this case, there is no interface IP configured for VLAN10.
So we can set a static IP 192.168.10.1 for VLAN10 in "Basic Setting -> IP Setup".
Verification:
Since interface IP been set for VLAN10, each device will receive IGMP General Query packets with source 192.168.10.1 accordingly.
