Configure MLD Snooping for a VLAN

When you enable MLD snooping globally (see
on page 147), you can enable MLD snooping on a per-VLAN basis.

To configure MLD snooping for a VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
Switch on page 10.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Switching> Multicast > MLD Snooping > MLD VLAN Configuration.
6. From the VLAN ID menu, select the VLAN ID.
7. From the Admin Mode menu, select Enable.
8. From the Fast Leave Admin Mode menu, select to enable or disable the MLD snooping
Fast Leave mode.
Enabling Fast Leave mode lets the switch immediately remove the Layer 2 LAN
interfaces from its forwarding table entry upon receiving an MLD Done message for that
multicast group without first sending MAC-based general queries to the interface.
We recommend that you enable Fast Leave admin mode only on VLANs for which only
one host is connected to a Layer 2 LAN port. This mode prevents the inadvertent
dropping of the other hosts that are connected to the same Layer 2 LAN port but are
configured to receive multicast traffic. Also, fast leave processing is supported only with
MLD version 1 hosts.
9. In the Group Membership Interval field, set the value for the group membership interval of
MLD snooping.
The valid range is 4 to 3620 seconds. The default value is 260 seconds.
