Chapter 15: Multicast Filtering
MLD Snooping (Snooping and Query for IPv6)
When a multicast address is assigned to an interface in a specific VLAN,
•
the corresponding traffic can only be forwarded to ports within that
VLAN.

These parameters are displayed:
VLAN – Specifies the VLAN which is to propagate the multicast service.
•
(Range: 1-4094)
Multicast IPv6 Address – The IP address for a specific multicast
•
service.
•
Interface – Activates the Port or Trunk scroll down list.
Port or Trunk – Specifies the interface assigned to a multicast group.
•
Type (Show Current Member) – Shows if this multicast stream was
•
statically configured by the user, discovered by MLD Snooping, or is a
data stream to which no other ports are subscribing (i.e., the stream is
flooded onto VLAN instead of being trapped to the CPU for processing,
or is being processed by MVR6).
