Configuring MLD query and response parameters on an interface

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

3.

Configure the MLD querier's
robustness variable.

mld robust-count robust-value

2 by default.
A higher robustness variable
makes the MLD querier more

robust but results in a longer IPv6
multicast group timeout time.

4.

Configure the startup query
interval.

mld startup-query-interval interval

By default, the startup query
interval is one-quarter of the "MLD

query interval."

5.

Configure the startup query
count.

mld startup-query-count value

By default, the startup query count
is the same as the MLD querier's

robustness variable.

6.

Configure the MLD query
interval.

mld timer query interval

125 seconds by default.

7.

Configure the maximum

response delay for MLD
general query messages.

mld max-response-time interval

10 seconds by default.

8.

Configure the MLD last
listener query interval.

mld last-listener-query-interval
interval

1 second by default.

9.

Configure the MLD other
querier present interval.

mld timer other-querier-present

interval

By default, the other querier
present interval is determined by

the formula "Other querier present

interval (in seconds) = [ MLD query
interval ] × [ MLD querier's

robustness variable ] + [ maximum

response delay for MLD general

query ] / 2."

Configuring MLD fast-leave processing

In some applications, such as ADSL dial-up networking, only one multicast receiver host is attached to a

port of the MLD querier. To allow fast response to the MLD done messages of the host when it switches
frequently from one IPv6 multicast group to another, you can enable MLD fast-leave processing on the

MLD querier.
With fast-leave processing enabled, after receiving an MLD done message from a host, the MLD querier

sends a leave notification to the upstream immediately without first sending MLD
multicast-address-specific queries. In this way, the leave latency is reduced and the network bandwidth

is saved.
