Configuring MLD report suppression
When a Layer 2 device receives an MLD report from an IPv6 multicast group member, the Layer 2 device
forwards the message to the Layer 3 device that directly connects to the Layer 2 device. When multiple
members of an IPv6 multicast group are attached to the Layer 2 device, the Layer 3 device might receive
duplicate MLD reports from these members.
With the MLD report suppression function enabled, within a query interval, the Layer 2 device forwards
only the first MLD report of an IPv6 group to the Layer 3 device. It will not forward the subsequent MLD
reports from the same multicast group. This helps reduce the number of packets being transmitted over
the network.
On an MLD snooping proxy, MLD membership reports are suppressed if the entries for the corresponding
groups exist in the forwarding table, regardless of whether the suppression function is enabled or not.

Setting the maximum number of multicast groups that a port can
join
By configuring the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups that a port can join, you can limit the
number of multicast programs available to VOD users, to control the traffic on the port.
