HP 6125G Configuration Guide

NOTE:
Unlike a static member port, a port that you configure as a simulated member host ages out like a dynamic
member port.
Enabling fast-leave processing
The fast-leave processing feature enables the switch to process MLD done messages quickly. After the
fast-leave processing feature is enabled, when the switch receives an MLD done message on a port, it
immediately removes that port from the forwarding entry for the multicast group specified in the message.
Then, when the switch receives MLD multicast-address-specific queries for that multicast group, it does not
forward them to that port.
On a port that has only one host attached, you can enable fast-leave processing to save bandwidth and
resources. However, on a port that has multiple hosts attached, you should not enable fast-leave
processing if you have enabled dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data globally or for the port.
Otherwise, if a host on the port leaves an IPv6 multicast group, the other hosts attached to the port in the
same IPv6 multicast group cannot receive the IPv6 multicast data for the group.

Disabling a port from becoming a dynamic router port
The following problems exist in a multicast access network:
• After receiving an MLD general query or IPv6 PIM hello message from a connected host, a router
port becomes a dynamic router port. Before its timer expires, this dynamic router port receives all
multicast packets within the VLAN where the port belongs, and forwards them to the host, affecting
normal multicast reception of the host.
• In addition, the MLD general query and IPv6 PIM hello message that the host sends affects the
multicast routing protocol state on Layer 3 devices, such as the MLD querier or DR election, and
might further cause network interruption.
