Configure simulated joining

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

ipv6-source-address ] vlan vlan-id

Required
Not configured by default.

NOTE:

A simulated host is equivalent to an independent host. For example, when a simulated member host
receives an MLD query, it gives a response separately.

Unlike a static member port, a port that you configure as a simulated member host ages out like a
dynamic member port.

Configuring fast-leave processing

The fast-leave processing feature allows the switch to process MLD done messages in a fast way. With the
fast-leave processing feature enabled, when receiving an MLD done message on a port, the switch

immediately removes that port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for the indicated

IPv6 multicast group. Then, when the switch receives MLD multicast-address-specific queries for that IPv6

multicast group, it does not forward them to that port.
In VLANs where only one host is attached to each port, fast-leave processing helps improve bandwidth

and resource usage. However, if fast-leave processing is enabled on a port that connects to more than

one host, when one host leaves a multicast group, the other hosts attached to the port and interested in
the same multicast group will fail to receive multicast data for that group. Therefore, if the function of

dropping unknown IPv6 multicast traffic is already enabled on the switch or in the VLANs, you should not

enable the fast-leave processing function.

Configuring fast-leave processing globally
