Chapter 29 Configuring IPv6 Multicast Listener Discovery Snooping
Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping
configuration command. The default is to send two queries. The switch also generates MLDv1 global
Done messages with valid link-local IPv6 source addresses when the switch becomes the STP root in the
VLAN or when it is configured by the user. This process is similar to that in IGMP snooping.

MLD snooping robustness variable Global: 2; per-VLAN: 0.
Note The VLAN value overrides the global setting. When the
VLAN value is 0, the VLAN uses the global count.
Last listener query count Global: 2; per-VLAN: 0.
Note The VLAN value overrides the global setting. When the
VLAN value is 0, the VLAN uses the global count.
Last listener query interval Global: 1000 (1 second); VLAN: 0.
Note The VLAN value overrides the global setting. When the
VLAN value is 0, the VLAN uses the global interval.
