The fields that can be configured are described below:
Parameter Description
Query Interval (1-65535)
Specify the amount of time in seconds between general query transmissions. The
default setting is 125 seconds.
Max Response Time (1-
The maximum time in seconds to wait for reports from listeners. The default setting
Robustness Value (1-7)
Provides fine-tuning to allow for expected packet loss on a subnet. The value of the
robustness variable is used in calculating the following MLD message intervals:
Group listener interval - Amount of time that must pass before a multicast router
decides there are no more listeners of a group on a network.
Other Querier present interval - Amount of time that must pass before a multicast
router decides that there is no longer another multicast router that is the Querier.
Last listener query count - Number of group-specific queries sent before the router
assumes there are no local listeners of a group. The default number is the value of
the robustness variable.
By default, the robustness variable is set to 2. You might want to increase this
value if you expect a subnet to be loosely.
Last Listener Query
Interval (1-25)
The maximum amount of time between group-specific query messages, including
those sent in response to done-group messages. You might lower this interval to
reduce the amount of time it takes a router to detect the loss of the last listener of a
Data Driven Group
Enter the data driven group expiry time value.
Querier State
This allows the switch to be specified as an MLD Querier (sends MLD query
packets) or a Non-Querier (does not send MLD query packets). Set to enable or
Here the user can enable or disable the fast done feature.
State
Used to enable or disable MLD snooping for the specified VLAN. This field is
Enable or disable the report suppression features.
Data Driven Learning
Enable or disable data driven learning of MLD snooping groups.
