Ipv6 Mld Snooping - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Command Reference Manual

Chapter 2 Cisco IOS Commands for the Catalyst 4500 Series Switches

ipv6 mld snooping

To enable IP version 6 (IPv6) Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping globally or on the specified
VLAN, use the ipv6 mld snooping command without keywords. To disable MLD snooping on a switch
or the VLAN, use the no form of this command.
Syntax Description
vlan vlan-id
Defaults
MLD snooping is globally disabled on the switch.
MLD snooping is enabled on all VLANs. However, MLD snooping must be globally enabled before
VLAN snooping can take place.
Command Modes
Global configuration mode
Command History Release
12.2(40)SG
Usage Guidelines
When MLD snooping is globally disabled, it is disabled on all the existing VLAN interfaces. When you
globally enable MLD snooping, it is enabled on all VLAN interfaces that are in the default state
(enabled). VLAN configuration overrides global configuration on interfaces on which MLD snooping
has been disabled.
If MLD snooping is globally disabled, you cannot enable it on a VLAN. If MLD snooping is globally
enabled, you can disable it on individual VLANs.
VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used
in MLD snooping.
Examples This example shows how to globally enable MLD snooping:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
OL-27596 -01
ipv6 mld snooping [vlan vlan-id]
no ipv6 mld snooping [vlan vlan-id]
(Optional) Enables or disables IPv6 MLD snooping on the specified VLAN.
The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.
