Verify the installation

Use the display mld interface command to view the MLD configuration and operation information on an

interface. For example,
# Display MLD configuration and operation information on VLAN-interface 100 of Switch B.

[SwitchB] display mld interface vlan-interface 100 verbose

Vlan-interface100(2001::2):

MLD proxy is enabled

Current MLD version is 1

Multicast routing on this interface: enabled

Require-router-alert: disabled

Use the display mld group command to view MLD group information. For example,
# Display the MLD group information on Switch A.

[SwitchA] display mld group

Total 1 MLD Group(s).

Interface group report information

Vlan-interface100(2001::1):

Total 1 MLD Groups reported

Group Address Last Reporter Uptime Expires

ff3e::101 2001::2 00:02:04 00:01:15

The output shows that the MLD reports sent from the hosts are forwarded to Switch A through the proxy
interface, VLAN-interface 100 of Switch B.

Troubleshooting MLD

No member information on the receiver-side router

Symptom

When a host sends a message to announce its joining IPv6 multicast group G, no member information

of multicast group G exists on the immediate router.

Analysis

The correctness of networking and interface connections and whether the protocol layer of the

interface is up directly affect the generation of IPv6 group member information.

IPv6 multicast routing must be enabled on the router and MLD must be enabled on the interface
connecting to the host.

If the MLD version on the router interface is lower than that on the host, the router will not be able
to recognize the MLD report from the host.

If the mld group-policy command has been configured on an interface, the interface cannot receive
report messages that fail to pass filtering.

Solution

1.

Check that the networking, interface connections, and IP address configuration are correct. Check

the interface information with the display mld interface command. If no information is output, the

interface is in an abnormal state. This is usually because you have configured the shutdown
