Configuring MLD
Filtering and
Throttling for
Interfaces
Use the Multicast > MLD Snooping > Filter (Configure Interface) page to assign an
MLD filter profile to interfaces on the switch, or to throttle multicast traffic by
limiting the maximum number of multicast groups an interface can join at the
same time.
Command Usage
◆ MLD throttling sets a maximum number of multicast groups that a port can join
at the same time. When the maximum number of groups is reached on a port,
the switch can take one of two actions; either
“deny” or “replace.” If the action is
set to deny, any new MLD join reports will be dropped. If the action is set to
replace, the switch randomly removes an existing group and replaces it with
the new multicast group.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Interface – Port or trunk identifier.
An MLD profile or throttling setting can be applied to a port or trunk. When
ports are configured as trunk members, the trunk uses the settings applied to
the first port member in the trunk.
◆ Profile ID – Selects an existing profile to assign to an interface.
◆ Max Multicast Groups – Sets the maximum number of multicast groups an
interface can join at the same time. (Range: 1-1024; Default: 1024)
