Configuring MLD Snooping Querier

Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring MLD snooping querier, complete the following task:

z

Enable MLD snooping in the VLAN.

Before configuring MLD snooping querier, prepare the following data:

z

MLD general query interval,

z

MLD last-member query interval,

z

Maximum response time for MLD general queries,

z

Source IPv6 address of MLD general queries, and

z

Source IPv6 address of MLD multicast-address-specific queries.

Enabling MLD Snooping Querier

In an IPv6 multicast network running MLD, a multicast router or Layer 3 multicast switch is

responsible for sending periodic MLD general queries, so that all Layer 3 multicast devices can

establish and maintain multicast forwarding entries, thus to forward multicast traffic correctly at

the network layer. This router or Layer 3 switch is called MLD querier.

However, a Layer 2 multicast switch does not support MLD, and therefore cannot send MLD

general queries by default. By enabling MLD snooping querier on a Layer 2 switch in a VLAN

where multicast traffic needs to be Layer-2 switched only and no Layer 3 multicast devices are
