Note
This command is available only if you have configured a dual IPv4 and IPv6 Switch Database
Management (SDM) template on the switch.
Syntax Description
Defaults
MLD snooping is globally disabled on the switch.
MLD snooping is enabled on all VLANs. However, MLD snooping must be globally enabled before
VLAN snooping will take place.

Usage Guidelines
To configure the dual IPv4 and IPv6 template, enter the
sdm prefer
dual-ipv4-and-ipv6
{
default
|
vlan
} global configuration command and reload the switch.
When MLD snooping is globally disabled, it is disabled on all the existing VLAN interfaces. When you
globally enable MLD snooping, it is enabled on all VLAN interfaces that are in the default state
(enabled). VLAN configuration will override global configuration on interfaces on which MLD
snooping has been disabled.
If MLD snooping is globally disabled, you cannot enable it on a VLAN. If MLD snooping is globally
enabled, you can disable it on individual VLANs.
When the IPv6 multicast router is a Catalyst 6500 switch and you are using extended VLANs (in the
range 1006 to 4094), IPv6 MLD snooping must be enabled on the extended VLAN on the Catalyst 6500
switch in order for the switch to receive queries on the VLAN. For normal-range VLANs (1 to 1005), it
is not necessary to enable IPv6 MLD snooping on the VLAN on the Catalyst 6500 switch.
VLAN numbers 1002 through 1005 are reserved for Token Ring and FDDI VLANs and cannot be used
in MLD snooping.
vlan
vlan-id
(Optional) Enable or disable IPv6 MLD snooping on the specified VLAN.
The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.
