Configuring MLD Snooping Queriers

In an IPv6 environment, MLD Snooping requires that one central switch or router periodically query all end-
devices on the network to announce their multicast memberships. This central device is the 'MLD querier'. The
MLD query responses, known as MLD reports, keep the switch updated with the current multicast group
membership on a port-by-port basis. If the switch does not receive updated membership information in a
timely fashion, it will stop forwarding multicast to the port where the end device is located.
These pages enable you to configure and display information on MLD Snooping queriers on the network and,
separately, on VLANs.
