Figure 255 MLD snooping related ports
The following describes the ports involved in MLD snooping:
• Router port—Layer 3 multicast device-side port. Layer 3 multicast devices include designated
routers and MLD queriers. As shown in Figure 255, G
igabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Switch A and
GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Switch B are router ports. A switch records all its local router ports in its
router port list.
Do not confuse the "router port" in MLD snooping with the "routed interface" commonly known as
the "Layer 3 interface." The router port in MLD snooping is a Layer 2 interface.
• Member port—Multicast receiver-side port. As shown in Figure 255,
GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and
GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 of Switch A and GigabitEthernet1/0/2 of Switch B are member ports. A
switch records all local member ports in its MLD snooping forwarding table.
Unless otherwise specified, router ports and member ports in this document include both dynamic and
static ports.

For each dynamic router

timer expires, the
dynamic router port ages
out.

The switch removes this
