PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN – A VLAN identification number. (Range: 1-4094)
◆ Immediate Leave Status – Immediately deletes a member port of an
IPv6 multicast service when a leave packet is received at that port and
immediate leave is enabled for the parent VLAN. (Default: Disabled)
If MLD immediate-leave is not used, a multicast router (or querier) will
send a group-specific query message when an MLD group leave
message is received. The router/querier stops forwarding traffic for that
group only if no host replies to the query within the specified timeout
period.
If MLD immediate-leave is enabled, the switch assumes that only one
host is connected to the interface. Therefore, immediate leave should
only be enabled on an interface if it is connected to only one MLD-
enabled device, either a service host or a neighbor running MLD
snooping.
WEB INTERFACE
To configure immediate leave for MLD Snooping:
1. Click Multicast, MLD Snooping, Interface.
