Chapter 25 Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping

Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to add a multicast router port to a VLAN:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

ipv6 mld snooping vlan vlan-idmrouter

Specify the multicast router VLAN ID, and specify the interface

 

interface interface-id

to the multicast router.

 

 

The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.

 

 

The interface can be a physical interface or a port channel.

 

 

The port-channel range is 1 to 48.

Step 3

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

 

 

show ipv6 mld snooping mrouter [vlan vlan-id]

Verify that IPv6 MLD snooping is enabled on the VLAN

 

 

interface.

Step 5

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

To remove a multicast router port from the VLAN, use the no ipv6 mld snooping vlan vlan-idmrouter interface interface-idglobal configuration command.

This example shows how to add a multicast router port to VLAN 200:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping vlan 200 mrouter interface gigabitethernet1/0/2

Switch(config)# exit

Enabling MLD Immediate Leave

When you enable MLDv1 Immediate Leave, the switch immediately removes a port from a multicast group when it detects an MLD Done message on that port. You should only use the Immediate-Leave feature when there is a single receiver present on every port in the VLAN. When there are multiple clients for a multicast group on the same port, you should not enable Immediate-Leave in a VLAN.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable MLDv1 Immediate Leave:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

ipv6 mld snooping vlan vlan-id

Enable MLD Immediate Leave on the VLAN interface.

 

immediate-leave

 

Step 3

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

 

 

 

Step 4 show ipv6 mld snooping vlan vlan-id

Verify that Immediate Leave is enabled on the VLAN interface.

Step 5

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

To disable MLD Immediate Leave on a VLAN, use the no ipv6 mld snooping vlan vlan-idimmediate-leaveglobal configuration command.

This example shows how to enable MLD Immediate Leave on VLAN 130:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ipv6 mld snooping vlan 130 immediate-leave

Switch(config)# exit
