Chapter 29 Configuring MLDv2 Snooping for IPv6 Multicast Traffic
Enabling the MLDv2 Snooping Querier
•
If there is no IPv6 address configured on the VLAN interface, the MLDv2 snooping querier does
not start. The MLDv2 snooping querier disables itself if the IPv6 address is cleared. When enabled,
the MLDv2 snooping querier restarts if you configure an IPv6 address.
•
When enabled, the MLDv2 snooping querier does not start if it detects MLDv2 traffic from an
IPv6 multicast router.
•
When enabled, the MLDv2 snooping querier starts after 60 seconds with no MLDv2 traffic detected
from an IPv6 multicast router.
•
When enabled, the MLDv2 snooping querier disables itself if it detects MLDv2 traffic from an
IPv6 multicast router.
•
QoS does not support MLDv2 packets when MLDv2 snooping is enabled.
•
You can enable the MLDv2 snooping querier on all the Cisco 7600 series routers in the VLAN that
support it. One router is elected as the querier.
Enabling the MLDv2 Snooping Querier
Use the MLDv2 snooping querier to support MLDv2 snooping in a VLAN where PIM and MLDv2 are
not configured because the multicast traffic does not need to be routed.
To enable the MLDv2 snooping querier in a VLAN, perform this task:
This example shows how to enable the MLDv2 snooping querier on VLAN 200 and verify the
configuration:
Router#
interface vlan 200
Router(config-if)#
ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:0:1::/64 eui-64
Router(config-if)#
ipv6 mld snooping querier
Router(config-if)#
end
Router#
show ipv6 mld interface vlan 200 | include querier
MLD snooping fast-leave is enabled and querier is enabled
Router#
Command
Purpose
Step 1
Router(config)#
interface vlan
vlan_ID
Selects the VLAN interface.
Step 2
Router(config-if)#
ipv6 address
prefix
/
prefix_length
Configures the IPv6 address and subnet.
Step 3
Router(config-if)#
ipv6 mld snooping querier
Enables the MLDv2 snooping querier.
Router(config-if)#
no
ipv6 mld snooping querier
Disables the MLDv2 snooping querier.
Step 4
Router(config-if)#
end
Exits configuration mode.
Step 5
Router#
show ipv6 mld interface vlan
vlan_ID
|
include querier
Verifies the configuration.
