If the switch receives no MLD reports for an IPv6 multicast group on a dynamic member port when the
aging timer of the port expires, the switch removes the port from the forwarding entry for the IPv6
multicast group.
If the memberships of IPv6 multicast groups change frequently, you can set a relatively small value for the
aging timer of the dynamic member ports. If the memberships of IPv6 multicast groups change rarely, you
can set a relatively large value.

Configuring static ports
If all the hosts attached to a port is interested in the IPv6 multicast data addressed to a particular IPv6
multicast group, you can configure that port as a static member port for that IPv6 multicast group.
You can configure a port as a static router port, through which the switch can forward all IPv6 multicast
data it received.
A static member port does not respond to queries from the MLD querier. When you configure a port as
a static member port or cancel this configuration on the port, the port does not send an unsolicited MLD
report or an MLD done message.
To configure static ports:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
