4.4.10 MLD Snooping
4.4.10.1 Configuration
Use the MLD Snooping Configuration and Status page to enable Multicast Listener
Discovery (MLD) snooping on the device and to view global status information. In
IPv4, Layer 2 switches can use IGMP snooping to limit the flooding of multicast traffic
by dynamically configuring Layer 2 interfaces so that multicast traffic is forwarded to
only those interfaces associated with IP multicast address. In IPv6 networks, MLD
snooping performs a similar function. With MLD snooping, IPv6 multicast data is
selectively forwarded to a list of ports intended to receive the data (instead of being
flooded to all of the ports in a VLAN). This list is constructed by snooping IPv6 multi-
cast control packets.

Description
The operational state of the IGMP snooping querier on the VLAN,
which is one of the following:

Querier: The snooping switch is the querier in the VLAN. The
snooping switch will send out periodic queries with a time interval
equal to the configured querier query interval. If the snooping
switch sees a better querier (numerically lower) in the VLAN, it
moves to non-querier mode.

Non-Querier: The snooping switch is in non-querier mode in the
VLAN. If the querier expiry interval timer expires, the snooping
switch moves into querier mode.

Disabled: The snooping querier is not operational on the VLAN.
The snooping querier moves to the disabled mode when IGMP
snooping is not operational on the VLAN, when the querier
address is not configured, or the network management address
is not configured.
The operational IGMP protocol version of the querier.
The IP address of the last querier from which a query was snooped on
the VLAN.
The IGMP protocol version of the last querier from which a query was
snooped on the VLAN.
The maximum response time to be used in the queries that are sent by
the snooping querier.
