IPv6 Multicast Configuration
The following pages configure IPv6 Multicast Configuration:
• MLD Snooping
• MLD Interface Settings
• MLD VLAN Settings
• MLD Proxy
MLD Snooping
To support selective IPv6 Multicast forwarding, bridge Multicast filtering must be enabled (in
the 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.
The MLD Snooping Table is displayed. The fields displayed are described in the Edit page
below. In addition the following fields are displayed:
• MLD Snooping Status—Displays whether MLD Snooping was enabled
(Administrative) and whether it is actually running on the VLAN (Operational).
• MLD Querier Status—Displays whether MLD Querier was enabled (Administrative)
and whether it is actually running on the VLAN (Operational).
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.
