IPv6 Multicast Configuration
The following pages configure IPv6 Multicast Configuration:
• MLD Snooping
• MLD VLAN Settings
• MLD Proxy
MLD Snooping
To support selective IPv6 Multicast forwarding, bridge Multicast filtering must be
enabled (in the Multicast > Properties page), and MLD Snooping must be enabled
globally and for each relevant VLAN in the MLD Snooping pages.
To enable MLD Snooping and configure it on a VLAN:
STEP 1 Click Multicast > IPv6 Multicast Configuration > MLD Snooping.
When MLD Snooping is globally enabled, the device monitoring network traffic
can determine which hosts have requested to receive Multicast traffic. The device
performs MLD Snooping only if both MLD snooping and Bridge Multicast filtering
are enabled.
STEP 2 Enable or disable the following features:
• MLD Snooping Status—Select to enable MLD snooping globally on all
interfaces.
• MLD Querier Status—Select to enable MLD querier globally on all
interfaces.
STEP 3 To configure MLD proxy on an interface, select a static VLAN and click Edit. Enter
the following fields:
• MLD Snooping Status—Select to enable MLD Snooping on the VLAN. The
device monitors network traffic to determine which hosts have asked to be
sent Multicast traffic. The device performs MLD snooping only when MLD
snooping and Bridge Multicast filtering are both enabled.
• MRouter Ports Auto Learn—Select to enable Auto Learn of the Multicast
router.
