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, is chosen as the MLD snooping querier.
To prevent flooding of unknown multicast traffic within the VLAN, be sure to 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 Ethernet 1/1 through Ethernet 1/3 to VLAN 100.
[SwitchA] vlan 100
[SwitchA-vlan100] port ethernet 1/1 to ethernet 1/3
# 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
