MLD (IPv6)

Mulitcast Listener Discovery
Devices support "MLD snooping" and the "MLD querier" function. If "MLD snooping" is enabled,
MLD frames are evaluated and the multicast filter table is updated with this information. If
"IGMP querier is also enabled, IE switches also send MLD queries that trigger responses from
MLD-compliant nodes.
With MLD snooping, MLD frames are only forwarded to the intended multicast listeners instead
of being flooded to all ports.
For MLD snooping to work, you need to enable the function globally and in the VLANs.
MLD Snooping Aging Time
On this page, you can configure the aging time for MLD configuration. When the time elapses,
entries created by MLD are deleted from the address table if they are not updated by a new
MLD packet.
This applies to all VLANS; a VLAN-specific configuration is not possible.
