Usage Guidelines
•
IPv6 Multicast Switching and Routing must be enabled to set the MLD source timeout on the system
and/or the specified VLANs.
•
If the MLD source timeout is already configured on the system, then the VLAN configuration will
override the system's configuration.
•
To restore the MLD router timeout to its default (i.e., 30 seconds) value on the system if no VLAN is
specified, use ipv6 multicast source-timeout followed by the value 0 (e.g., ipv6 multicast source-
timeout 0) or use only ipv6 multicast source-timeout (e.g., ipv6 multicast source-timeout).
•
To restore the MLD router timeout to its default (i.e., 30 seconds) value on the specified VLAN, use
ipv6 multicast vlan vid source-timeout followed by the value 0 (e.g., ipv6 multicast vlan 2 source-
timeout 0) or use only ipv6 multicast vlan vid source-timeout (e.g., ipv6 multicast vlan 2 source-
timeout).
