Configuring Parameters For Mld Messages - HP FlexNetwork 7500 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring parameters for MLD messages

This section describes how to configure parameters for MLD messages.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure parameters for MLD messages, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable MLD snooping for the VLAN.
•
Determine the source IPv6 address of MLD general queries.
•
Determine the source IPv6 address of MLD multicast-address-specific queries.
•
Determine the source IPv6 address of MLD reports.
•
Determine the source IPv6 address of MLD done messages.
•
Determine the 802.1p priority of MLD messages.
Configuring source IPv6 addresses for MLD messages
You can change the source IPv6 address of the MLD queries sent by an MLD snooping querier. This
configuration might affect MLD querier election within the subnet.
You can also change the source IPv6 address of MLD reports or done messages sent by a simulated
member host or an MLD snooping proxy.
To configure the source IP address for MLD messages in a VLAN:
Step
Enter system view.

Remarks
N/A
N/A
By default, the source IPv6
address of MLD general queries
is the IPv6 link-local address of
the current VLAN interface. If the
current VLAN interface does not
have an IPv6 link-local address,
the source IPv6 address is
FE80::02FF:FFFF:FE00:0001.
