Disabling error and warning messages

Disabling error and warning messages

Error or warning messages are printed when the device runs out of software resources or when it receives packets with the wrong checksum or groups. These messages are rate limited. You can turn off these messages by entering the ipv6 multicast verbose-offcommand.

device(config)#ipv6 multicast verbose-off

Syntax: [no] ipv6 multicast verbose-off

Configuring the MLD mode for a VLAN

You can configure a VLAN for either the active or passive (default) MLD mode. The VLAN setting overrides the global setting:

Active - In active MLD mode, the device actively sends out MLD queries to identify IPv6 multicast groups on the network, and makes entries in the MLD table based on the group membership reports it receives from the network.

Passive - In passive MLD mode, the device forwards reports to router ports that receive queries. MLD snooping in the passive mode does not send queries. However, it does forward queries to the entire VLAN.

To set the MLD mode for VLAN 20 to active, enter the following commands.

device(config)#vlan 20 device(config-vlan-20)#multicst6 active

Syntax: [no] multicast6 [active passive]

The default mode is passive.

Disabling MLD snooping for the VLAN

When MLD snooping is enabled globally, you can disable it for a specific VLAN. For example, the following commands disable MLD snooping for VLAN 20. This setting overrides the global setting for VLAN 20.

device(config)#vlan 20 device(config-vlan-20)#multicast6 disable-mld-snoop

Syntax: [no] multicast6 disable-mld-snoop

Configuring the MLD version for the VLAN

You can specify the MLD version for a VLAN. For example, the following commands configure VLAN 20 to use MLDv2.

device(config)#vlan 20 device(config-vlan-20)#multicast6 version 2

Syntax: [no] multicast6 version [1 2]

When no MLD version is specified, the globally-configured MLD version is used. If an MLD version is specified for individual ports, these ports use that version, instead of the version specified for the VLAN.
