MLD Snooping Configuration

Figure 3-18: MLD Snooping Leave Configuration Topology

Step 1. Enable MLD Snooping on VLAN 1.

(Switch-1) (Config)#vlan database

(Switch-1) (Vlan)#set mld 1

(Switch-1) (Vlan)#set mld fast-leave 1

Step 1. Enable MLD snooping on all interface and all VLANs

(Switch-1) (Config)#ipv6 mld snooping interfacemode all

(Switch-1) (Config)#ipv6 mld snooping fast-leave

Step 1. Enable MLD snooping on specific interface 0/3-0/7

(Switch-1) (Config)#interface range 0/3-0/7

(Switch-1) (Interface 0/3-0/7)#ipv6 mld snooping interfacemode

(Switch-1) (Interface 0/3-0/7)#ipv6 mld snooping fast-leave

3.10.3.

MLD Snooping Querier Configuration Example

If there is no mcast router in the network, then one of the switches should enable MLD snooping querier.

If there is no querier, then switch can’t maintain mcast client information.
