Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping

Configuring MLD

Configuring the Querier

Syntax: [no] ipv6 mld querier

Note: This command must be issued in a VLAN context.

This command enables the switch to act as querier on a VLAN.

The [no] form of the command disables the switch from acting as querier on a VLAN.

The querier function is enabled by default. If another switch or a multicast router is acting as the MLD querier on the VLAN, this switch will defer to that device. If an acting querier stops performing the querier function, all querier-enabled switches and multicast routers on the VLAN will enter an election to determine the next device to act as querier.

For example, to disable the switch from acting as querier on VLAN 8:

ProCurve(vlan-8)# no ipv6 mld querier

To enable the switch to act as querier on VLAN 8:

ProCurve(vlan-8)# ipv6 mld querier

Configuring Fast Leave

Syntax: [no] ipv6 mld fastleave <port-list>

Note: This command must be issued in a VLAN context.

This command enables the fast leave function on the specified ports in a VLAN.

The [no] form of the command disables the fast leave function on the specified ports in a VLAN.

The fast leave function is enabled by default.
