Figure 75 Sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN
MLD snooping manages router ports in the IPv6 multicast VLAN and user ports in each sub-VLAN. Switch
A sends only one copy of the received IPv6 multicast data to the IPv6 multicast VLAN on Switch B. Switch
B replicates the IPv6 multicast data and sends a separate copy to each sub-VLAN of the IPv6 multicast
VLAN.
Port-based IPv6 multicast VLAN
As shown in
Host A, Host B, and Host C are in VLAN 2 through VLAN 4, respectively.
•
On Switch B, VLAN 10 is an IPv6 multicast VLAN. All the user ports are hybrid ports and are
•
assigned to VLAN 10.
MLD snooping is enabled for the IPv6 multicast VLAN and VLAN 2 through VLAN 4.

Figure 76 Port-based IPv6 multicast VLAN
MLD snooping manages the router ports and user ports in the IPv6 multicast VLAN. When Switch B
receives an MLD message on a user port, it tags the message with the IPv6 multicast VLAN ID and sends
it to the MLD querier. Switch A sends only one copy of the received IPv6 multicast data to the IPv6
