ARAMETERS

These parameters are displayed:

VLAN – A VLAN identification number. (Range: 1-4093)

Immediate Leave Status – Immediately deletes a member port of an

IPv6 multicast service when a leave packet is received at that port and

immediate leave is enabled for the parent VLAN. (Default: Disabled)
If MLD immediate-leave is not used, a multicast router (or querier) will

send a group-specific query message when an MLD group leave

message is received. The router/querier stops forwarding traffic for that

group only if no host replies to the query within the specified timeout

period.
If MLD immediate-leave is enabled, the switch assumes that only one

host is connected to the interface. Therefore, immediate leave should

only be enabled on an interface if it is connected to only one MLD-

enabled device, either a service host or a neighbor running MLD

snooping.
