About This Chapter

This chapter describes the implementation and configuration procedures of Multicast Listener

Discovery (MLD) snooping on the S2700.

4.1 Overview of MLD Snooping

When MLD snooping is enabled, the S2700 creates a Layer 2 forwarding table for multicast

data packets by listening to MLD messages. In this manner, the S2700 manages and controls

the forwarding of multicast data packets to ensure that these packets are sent only to the hosts

that need the multicast data.

4.2 MLD Snooping Features Supported by the S2700

This section describes the MLD snooping features supported by the S2700.

4.3 Enabling MLD Snooping

This section describes how to enable MLD snooping, add an interface to a multicast group

statically, and configure an interface as a static router interface.

4.4 Configuring a Multicast Group Policy for a VLAN

This section describes how to configure a multicast group policy for a VLAN.

4.5 Configuring Prompt Leave of Interfaces

This section describes how to configure prompt leave of interfaces in a VLAN.

4.6 Configuring the MLD Snooping Querier

This section describes how to configure the MLD snooping querier.

4.7 (Optional) Modifying Parameters of MLD Snooping

This section describes how to optimize the performance of MLD snooping by modifying MLD

snooping parameters, including the aging time of the router interface, interval for sending Last

Member Query messages, interval for sending the General Query messages, maximum response

time for MLD messages, MLD robustness variable, source IP address of the MLD message sent

to respond to changes of Layer 2 network topology, MLD version, duration for suppressing the

same Report messages, maximum number of MLD snooping entries, and whether the Router

Alert option is contained in MLD messages.

4.8 Maintaining MLD Snooping

This section describes how to maintain MLD snooping.
