Configuring MLD Snooping Querier

Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring MLD Snooping querier, complete the following task:
Enable MLD Snooping in the VLAN.
Before configuring MLD Snooping querier, prepare the following data:
MLD general query interval,
MLD last-member query interval,
Maximum response time for MLD general queries,
Source IPv6 address of MLD general queries, and
Source IPv6 address of MLD multicast-address-specific queries.

Enabling MLD Snooping Querier

In an IPv6 multicast network running MLD, a multicast router or Layer 3 multicast switch is responsible
for sending periodic MLD general queries, so that all Layer 3 multicast devices can establish and
maintain multicast forwarding entries, thus to forward multicast traffic correctly at the network layer. This
router or Layer 3 switch is called MLD querier.
However, a Layer 2 multicast switch does not support MLD, and therefore cannot send MLD general
queries by default. By enabling MLD Snooping querier on a Layer 2 switch in a VLAN where multicast
traffic needs to be Layer-2 switched only and no Layer 3 multicast devices are present, the Layer 2
switch will act as the MLD querier to send periodic MLD queries, thus allowing multicast forwarding
entries to be established and maintained at the data link layer.
Follow these steps to enable the MLD Snooping querier:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter VLAN view
Enable the MLD Snooping
querier
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
