Configure the corresponding port groups
Before configuring MLD Snooping port functions, prepare the following data:
z
Aging time of router ports
z
Aging timer of member ports
z
IPv6 multicast group and IPv6 multicast source addresses
3.4.2 Configuring Aging Timers for Dynamic Ports
If the switch receives no MLD general queries or IPv6 PIM hello messages on a
dynamic router port, the switch removes the port from the router port list when the aging
timer of the port expires.
If the switch receives no MLD reports for an IPv6 multicast group on a dynamic member
port, the switch removes the port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry
for that IPv6 multicast group when the aging timer of the port for that group expires.
If IPv6 multicast group memberships change frequently, you can set a relatively small
value for the member port aging timer, and vice versa.
