MLD snooping querier configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
•
Source 2) send IPv6 multicast data to multicast groups FF1E::101 and FF1E::102 respectively, Host
A and Host C are receivers of multicast group FF1E::101 and Host B and Host D are receivers of
multicast group FF1E::102.
MLDv1 runs on all the receivers, and MLDv1 snooping runs on all the switches. Switch A, which is
•
close to the multicast sources, acts as the MLD snooping querier.
To prevent flooding of unknown multicast traffic within the VLAN, configure all the switches to drop
•
unknown multicast data packets.

# Enable IPv6 forwarding and enable MLD snooping globally.
<SwitchA> system-view
[SwitchA] ipv6
