MLDv1 runs on all the receivers and MLDv1 snooping runs on all the switches. Switch A, which
is close to the multicast sources, acts 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 GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 to VLAN 100.
[SwitchA] vlan 100
[SwitchA-vlan100] port gigabitethernet 1/0/1 to gigabitethernet 1/0/3
# 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
2.
Configure Switch B
# Enable IPv6 forwarding and enable MLD snooping globally.
<SwitchB> system-view
[SwitchB] ipv6
[SwitchB] mld-snooping
[SwitchB-mld-snooping] quit
# Create VLAN 100, add GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 into VLAN 100.
[SwitchB] vlan 100
