10.4.2 Configuring the Router-Alert Option of an MLD Packet
To make the multicast device connected with the user network segment or other MLD interfaces
on the same network segment receive only the MLD messages with Router-Alert options, you
can configure a Router-Alert option for MLD messages on the multicast device connected with
the user network segment.
Context
Do as follows on the switch connected to hosts:
This configuration is optional. By default, MLD packets sent by switchs carry the Router-Alert
option, but the switchs do not check the Router-Alert option. That is, the switchs process all the
received MLD packets, including those without the Router-Alert option.
NOTE
The configuration involves the following cases:
l Global configuration: It is valid on all interfaces.
l Configuration on an interface: The configuration on an interface takes precedence over the global
configuration. If the configuration on an interface is not done, the global configuration is used.
