NOTE: It is strongly recommended that users enable IGMP snooping if MLD
snooping is enabled and vice-versa. This is because both IGMP snooping and
MLD snooping utilize the same forwarding table, and not enabling both may
cause unwanted pruning of protocol packets utilized by other protocols, e.g.
OSPFv2.
