Network
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping enables a controller, service platform or access point to examine MLD packets
and make forwarding decisions based on content. MLD is used by IPv6 devices to discover devices wanting to receive multicast
packets destined for specific multicast addresses. MLD uses multicast listener queries and multicast listener reports to identify
which multicast addresses have listeners and join multicast groups.
MLD snooping caps the flooding of IPv6 multicast traffic on controller, service platform or access point VLANs. When enabled,
MLD messages are examined between hosts and multicast routers and to discern which hosts are receiving multicast group
traffic. The controller, service platform or access point then forwards multicast traffic only to those interfaces connected to
interested receivers instead of flooding traffic to all interfaces.
To view network MLD configuration options:
1. Select the Statistics
2. Select System
connected access points.
3. Expand the Network
4. Select MLD.
Displays the ports on which multicast clients have been discovered by the multicast router. For
example, ge1, radio1, etc.
Lists MiNT IDs for each listed VLAN. MiNT provides the means to secure access point profile
communications at the transport layer. Using MiNT, an access point can be configured to only
communicate with other authorized (MiNT enabled) access point of the same model.
Lists the IGMP query interval implemented when the querier functionality is enabled. The
default value is 60 seconds.
Lists the multicast router IGMP version compatibility as either version 1, 2 or 3. The default
setting is 3.
