MLD Snooping (Snooping and Query for IPv6)
Figure 300: Configuring Immediate Leave for MLD Snooping
Specifying Static
Interfaces for an
IPv6 Multicast Router
Use the Multicast > MLD Snooping > Multicast Router (Add Static Multicast Router)
page to statically attach an interface to an IPv6 multicast router/switch.
Depending on your network connections, MLD snooping may not always be able
to locate the MLD querier. Therefore, if the MLD querier is a known multicast router/
switch connected over the network to an interface (port or trunk) on the switch,
you can manually configure that interface to join all the current multicast groups.
Command Usage
MLD Snooping must be enabled globally on the switch (see “Configuring MLD
Snooping and Query Parameters” on page 465 ) before a multicast router port can
take effect.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN – Selects the VLAN which is to propagate all IPv6 multicast traffic coming
from the attached multicast router. (Range: 1-4094)
◆ Interface – Activates the Port or Trunk scroll down list.
◆ Port or Trunk – Specifies the interface attached to a multicast router.
Web Interface
To specify a static interface attached to a multicast router:
1.
Click Multicast, MLD Snooping, Multicast Router.
2.
Select Add Static Multicast Router from the Action list.
3.
Select the VLAN which will forward all the corresponding IPv6 multicast traffic,
and select the port or trunk attached to the multicast router.
4.
Click Apply.
