Description
•
MLDv2 snooping can process MLDv1 and MLDv2 messages.
IMPORTANT:
If you change the MLDv2 snooping to MLDv1 snooping, the system clears all MLD
snooping forwarding entries that are dynamically added.
Enable or disable the MLD snooping querier function.
In an IPv6 multicast network that runs MLD, a Layer 3 device acts as the MLD
querier to send MLD queries and establish and maintain IPv6 multicast forwarding
entries, ensuring correct IPv6 multicast traffic forwarding at the network layer.
On an IPv6 network without Layer 3 multicast devices, MLD querier cannot work
because a Layer 2 device does not support MLD. To address this issue, you can
enable MLD snooping querier on a Layer 2 device so that the device can generate
and maintain IPv6 multicast forwarding entries at data link layer, providing MLD
querier functions.
Configure the MLD general query interval.
Specify the source IPv6 address of MLD general queries.
Specify the source IPv6 address of MLD multicast-address-specific queries.
Description
Select the port on which advanced MLD snooping features will be configured. The port
can be an GigabitEthernet port or Layer 2 aggregate interface.
After a port is selected, advanced features configured on this port are displayed at the
Table 87.
