name
Default
Enabled.
Usage Guidelines
If a VLAN is specified, MLD snooping is enabled only on that VLAN, otherwise MLD snooping is
enabled on all VLANs.
A VLAN must have an IPv6 address to support MLD.
Two MLD snooping modes are supported:
The
●
forward-mcrouter-only
router running PIM).
When not in the
●
router (multicast or not), and any active member port to the local network that has one or more
subscribers.
NOTE
The forward-mcrouter-only mode for MLD snooping is enabled/disabled on a switch-wide basis, not on a per-VLAN
basis. In other words, all the interfaces enabled for MLD snooping are either in the forward-mcrouter-only mode or in
the non-forward-mcrouter-only mode, and not a mixture of the two modes.
To change the MLD snooping mode from the non-
mcrouter-only
enable mld snooping forward-mcrouter-only
To change the MLD snooping mode from the
