Configuring Layer 2 Multicast MLD Snooping Configuration
User Guide
323
Follow these steps to configure MLD Snooping for VLANs:
Step 1 configure
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 ipv6 mld snooping vlan-config
vlan-id-list
mtime
member-time
Enable MLD Snooping for the specified VLANs, and specify the member port aging time for the
VLANs.
vlan-id-list:
Specify the ID or the ID list of the VLAN(s).
member-time:
Specify the aging time of the member ports in the specified VLANs. Valid values
are from 60 to 600 seconds. By default, it is 260 seconds.
Once the switch receives an MLD report message from a port, the switch adds this port to the
member port list of the corresponding multicast group. Member ports that are learned in this
way are called dynamic member ports.
If the switch does not receive any MLD report message for a specific multicast group from a
dynamic member port, it will no longer consider this port as a member port of this multicast
group and delete it from the multicast forwarding table.
Step 3 ipv6 mld snooping vlan-config
vlan-id-list
rtime
router-time
Specify the router port aging time for the VLANs.
vlan-id-list:
Specify the ID or the ID list of the VLAN(s).
router-time:
Specify the aging time of the router ports in the specified VLANs. Valid values are
from 60 to 600 seconds. By default, it is 300 seconds.
Once the switch receives an MLD general query message from a port, the switch adds this port
to the router port list. Router ports that are learned in this way are called dynamic router ports.
If the switch does not receive any MLD general query message from a dynamic router port
within the router port aging time, the switch will no longer consider this port as a router port
and delete it from the router port list.
Step 4 ipv6 mld snooping vlan-config
vlan-id-list
ltime
leave-time
Specify the router port aging time for the VLANs.
vlan-id-list:
Specify the ID or the ID list of the VLAN(s).
leave-time:
Specify the leave time for the VLAN(s). Valid values are from 1 to 30 in seconds,
and the default value is 1 second.
When the switch receives a leave message from a port to leave a multicast group, it will wait for
a leave time before removing the port from the multicast group. During the period, if the switch
receives any report messages from the port, the port will not be removed from the multicast
group. Exceptions are as follows:
•
If the member port ages out before the Leave Time ends and no report messages are
received, the port will be removed from the multicast group once its Member Port Aging
Time ends.
•
The Leave Time mechanism will not take effect when Fast Leave takes effect.
A proper leave time value can avoid other hosts connecting to the same port of the switch
being mistakenly removed from the multicast group when only some of them want to leave.
