Specifying Static Interfaces for an IPv6 Multicast Router
Use the Multicast > MLD Snooping > Multicast Router (Add Static Multicast Router) page to statically attach an interface to an IPv6
multicast router/switch.
Depending on your network connections, MLD snooping may not always be able to locate the MLD querier. Therefore, if the MLD
querier is a known multicast router/ switch connected over the network to an interface (port or trunk) on the switch, you can
manually configure that interface to join all the current multicast groups.
Command Usage
MLD Snooping must be enabled globally on the switch (see the
Configuring MLD Snooping and Query Parameters
page 249) before a multicast router port can take effect.
The following table lists the options on this page:

VLAN
A VLAN identification number. (Range: 1-4094)
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.
