Mld Proxy Configuration - Dell PowerConnect 6224 User Manual

MLD Proxy Configuration

When you configure an interface in MLD proxy mode, it acts as a proxy multicast host that sends MLD
membership reports on one interface for MLD Membership reports received on all other MLD-enabled
router interfaces.
Use the MLD Proxy Interface Configuration page to enable and disable ports as MLD proxy interfaces.
To display this page, click IPv6 Multicast → MLD → Proxy Interface → Interface Configuration in the
navigation tree.
