29.6.4 MLD Troubleshooting Help

When configuring and using MLD protocol, MLD protocol may fail to work normally due to

physical connections, incorrect configuration and so on. So, users shall note the following

points:

Assure the physical connection is correct.

Assure the protocol of interface and link is UP (use show interface command)

Assure to start one kind of multicast protocol on the interface

Assure the time of the timers of each router on the same network segment is consistent;

usually we recommend the default setting.

Unicast route shall be used to carry out RPF examination for multicast protocol. So the

correctness of unicast route shall be guaranteed above all.

If all attempts fail to solve the problems on MLD, please use debug commands such as debug

ipv6 MLD event/packet, and copy DEBUG information in 3 minutes and send to Technology

Service Center.

29.7 MLD Snooping

29.7.1 Introduction to MLD Snooping

MLD, the Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol, is used to realize multicasting in the IPv6.

MLD is used by the network equipments such as routers which supports multicast for multicast

listener discovery, also used by listeners looking forward to join certain multicast group

informing the router to receive data packets from certain multicast address, all of which are

done through MLD message exchange. First the router send an MLD Multicast listener Query

message through a multicast address which can address all the listeners (namely ff02::1).

Once there is a listener who wishes to join the multicast address, it will send a MLD Multicast

listener Report back through the multicast address.

MLD Snooping is namely the MLD listening. The switch restricts the multicast traffic from

flooding through MLD Snooping, and forward the multicast traffic to ports associated to
