MLD snooping querier configuration example
Network requirements
•
As shown in
, in a Layer-2-only network environment, two multicast sources (Source 1 and
Source 2) send IPv6 multicast data to multicast groups FF1E::101 and FF1E::102 respectively, Host
A and Host C are receivers of multicast group FF1E::101 and Host B and Host D are receivers of
multicast group FF1E::102.
•
MLDv1 runs on all the receivers, and MLDv1 snooping runs on all the switches. Switch A, which is
close to the multicast sources, acts as the MLD snooping querier.
•
To prevent flooding of unknown multicast traffic within the VLAN, configure all the switches to drop
unknown multicast data packets.

Configuration procedure
1.
Configure Switch A
# Enable IPv6 forwarding and enable MLD snooping globally.
<SwitchA> system-view
[SwitchA] ipv6
[SwitchA] mld-snooping
[SwitchA-mld-snooping] quit
# Create VLAN 100 and assign GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to VLAN 100.
[SwitchA] vlan 100
[SwitchA-vlan100] port gigabitethernet 1/0/1 to gigabitethernet 1/0/3
# Enable MLD snooping and the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data packets in VLAN
100.
[SwitchA-vlan100] mld-snooping enable
[SwitchA-vlan100] mld-snooping drop-unknown
# Configure MLD snooping querier feature in VLAN 100.
[SwitchA-vlan100] mld-snooping querier
[SwitchA-vlan100] quit
