Chapter 3 MLD Snooping Configuration

z
If no MLD report in response to the MLD multicast-address-specific query is heard
on a member port before its aging timer expires, this means that no hosts attached
to the port are still listening to that IPv6 multicast group address. The switch
removes the port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for that
IPv6 multicast group when the aging timer expires.
