Protocols And Standards; Configuration Task List - HP 4800G Series Configuration Manual

multicast address, filter mode, and source list. Such an entry is a collection of members in the same
multicast group on each downstream interface.
A proxy device performs host functions on the upstream interface based on the database. It responds to
the queries according to the information in the database or sends join/leave messages when the
database changes. On the other hand, the proxy device performs router functions on the downstream
interfaces by participating in the querier election, sending queries, and maintaining memberships based
on the reports.

Protocols and Standards

MLD-related specifications are described in the following documents:
RFC 2710: Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) for IPv6
RFC 3810: Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2) for IPv6
RFC 4605: Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)/Multicast Listener Discovery
(MLD)-Based Multicast Forwarding ("IGMP/MLD Proxying")

Configuration Task List

Configuring Basic Functions of MLD
Adjusting MLD Performance
Configuring MLD SSM Mapping
Configuring MLD Proxying
Configurations performed in MLD view are globally effective, while configurations performed in
interface view are effective on the current interface only.
If no configuration is performed in interface view, the global configurations performed in MLD view
will apply to that interface. Configurations performed in interface view take precedence over those
performed in MLD view.
