Step Command

Remarks

3.

Configure the port as a
simulated member host.

mld-snooping host-join
ipv6-group-address [ source-ip

ipv6-source-address ] vlan vlan-id

A port is not a simulated member
host by default.

NOTE:

Unlike a static member port, a port configured as a simulated member host will age out like a dynamic
member port.

Enabling MLD snooping fast-leave processing

The MLD snooping fast-leave processing feature enables the switch to process MLD done messages

quickly. After the MLD snooping fast-leave processing feature is enabled, when the switch receives an

MLD done message on a port, it immediately removes that port from the forwarding entry for the

multicast group specified in the message. Then, when the switch receives MLD multicast-address-specific
queries for that multicast group, it does not forward them to that port.
On a port that has only one host attached, you can enable MLD snooping fast-leave processing to save

bandwidth and resources. However, on a port that has multiple hosts attached, do not enable MLD

snooping fast-leave processing if you have enabled dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data globally or
for the port. Otherwise, if a host on the port leaves an IPv6 multicast group, the other hosts attached to

the port in the same IPv6 multicast group cannot receive the IPv6 multicast data for the group.
