MLD Snooping Commands

This section describes commands used for MLD Snooping. In IPv4, Layer 2 switches can use

IGMP Snooping to limit the flooding of multicast traffic by dynamically configuring Layer 2

interfaces so that multicast traffic is forwarded only to those interfaces associated with IP

multicast addresses. In IPv6, MLD Snooping performs a similar function. With MLD

Snooping, IPv6 multicast data is selectively forwarded to a list of ports that want to receive

the data, instead of being flooded to all ports in a VLAN. This list is constructed by snooping

IPv6 multicast control packets.

Query Interval The amount of time in seconds that a Snooping Querier waits before sending out the
periodic general query.
Querier Timeout The amount of time to wait in the Non-Querier operational state before moving to a
Querier state.
Field Description
Indicates whether iGMP Snooping Querier is active on the VLAN.
Indicates whether IGMP Snooping Querier is in “Querier” or “Non-Querier” state. When
the switch is in Querier state, it will send out periodic general queries. When in
Non-Querier state, it will wait for moving to Querier state and does not send out any
queries.
Indicates the time to wait before removing a Leave from a host upon receiving a Leave
request. This value is calculated dynamically from the Queries received from the
network. If the Snooping Switch is in Querier state, then it is equal to the configured
value.
Indicates whether the IGMP Snooping Querier participates in querier election if it
discovers the presence of a querier in the VLAN.
The IP address will be used in the IPv4 header while sending out IGMP queries on this
VLAN. It can be configured using the appropriate command.
The version of IPv4 will be used while sending out IGMP queries on this VLAN.
Indicates the IP address of the most recent Querier from which a Query was received.
Indicates the IGMP version of the most recent Querier from which a Query was received
on this VLAN.
