25.3 MLD Status
Use this screen to look at the current list of IPv6 multicast groups the Zyxel Device manages through MLD.

who wish to receive multicast packets and the IP addresses of multicast groups the hosts want to join on
its network. MLDv1 is equivalent to IGMPv2 and MLDv2 is equivalent to IGMPv3. You can configure MLD
settings in
