MLD Snooping Global Settings
As an IPv6 Layer 2 multicast protocol, MLD Snooping maintains the outgoing port information of multicast packets by
listening to the multicast protocol packets sent between Layer 3 multicast devices and user hosts, so as to manage and
control multicast data . Forwarding of packets at the data link layer. When an MLD protocol packet transmitted between a
host and an upstream Layer 3 device passes through a Layer 2 device, MLD Snooping analyzes the information carried in the
packet, establishes and maintains a Layer 2 multicast forwarding table based on the information, and guides multicast data in
the data stream.
Global Settings page give the user the ability to enable MLD Snooping as well as selecting Multicast Forward Mode etc.
