Mld Snooping - EnGenius EWS Series User Manual

MLD Snooping

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping operates on the IPv6 traffic level for discovering multicast
listeners on a directly attached port and performs a similar function to IGMP Snooping for IPv4. MLD
snooping allows the Switch to examine MLD packets and make forwarding decisions based on content.
MLD Snooping limits IPv6 multicast traffic by dynamically configuring the Switch port so that multicast
traffic is forwarded only to those ports that wish to receive it. This reduces the flooding of IPv6 multicast
packets in the specified VLANs. Both IGMP and MLD Snooping can be active at the same time.

Displays the VLAN ID.
The Switch will auto detect the presence of a multicast router and forward
IGMP packets accordingly.
Displays router ports that have been dynamically configured.
Designates a range of ports as being disconnected to multicast-enabled
routers. Ensures that the forbidden router port will not propagate routing
packets out.
Designates a range of ports as being connected to multicast-enabled routers.
Ensures that all the packets will reach the multicast-enabled router.
