Protocols And Standards; Mld Snooping Configuration Task List - HP FlexFabric 5700 Series Configuration Manual

If no match is found, the switch discards the MLD done message.
•
• If a match is found but the receiving port is not in the forwarding entry, the switch discards the MLD
done message.
If a match is found and the receiving port is in the forwarding entry, the switch forwards the done
•
message to all router ports in the VLAN. The switch does not immediately remove the port from the
forwarding entry for that group. Instead, it restarts the aging timer for the port.
After receiving the MLD done message, the MLD querier resolves the IPv6 multicast group address in the
message. Then, it sends an MLD multicast-address-specific query to the IPv6 multicast group through the
port that received the done message.
After receiving the MLD multicast-address-specific query, the switch forwards the query through all its
router ports in the VLAN and all member ports of the IPv6 multicast group. Then, it waits for the
responding MLD reports from the directly connected hosts. For the member port that received the done
message, the switch performs one of the following actions:
If the port receives an MLD report before the aging timer expires, the switch adjusts the aging timer
•
for the port.
If the port does not receive an MLD report when the aging timer expires, the switch removes the port
•
from the forwarding entry for the IPv6 multicast group.
