5.4.5.4.5 Overriding MLD Snooping Configuration
Overriding the Network Configuration
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping enables a controller, service platform or access point to examine MLD packets
and make forwarding decisions based on content. MLD is used by IPv6 devices to discover devices wanting to receive multicast
packets destined for specific multicast addresses. MLD uses multicast listener queries and multicast listener reports to identify
which multicast addresses have listeners and join multicast groups.
MLD snooping caps the flooding of IPv6 multicast traffic on controller, service platform or access point VLANs. When enabled,
MLD messages are examined between hosts and multicast routers and to discern which hosts are receiving multicast group
traffic. The controller, service platform or access point then forwards multicast traffic only to those interfaces connected to
interested receivers instead of flooding traffic to all interfaces.
To set an IPv6 MLD snooping configuration for the profile:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Device Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
3. Select a target device from the device browser in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
4. Select Network to expand its sub menu options.
5. Select MLD Snooping.
Maximum Response Time Specify the maximum time (from 1 - 25 seconds) before sending a responding report.
When no reports are received from a radio, radio information is removed from the IGMP
snooping table. The access point only forwards multicast packets to radios present in the
snooping table. For IGMP reports from wired ports, the controller forwards these reports
to the multicast router ports. The default setting is 10 seconds.
Other Querier Time Expiry Specify an interval in either Seconds (60 - 300) or Minutes (1 - 5) to set a timeout interval
for other querier resources. The default setting is 1 minute.
