Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping
Topology Change Notification Processing
When topology change notification (TCN) solicitation is enabled by using the
ipv6 mld snooping tcn
query solicit
global configuration command, MLDv1 snooping sets the VLAN to flood all IPv6
multicast traffic with a configured number of MLDv1 queries before it begins sending multicast data
only to selected ports. You set this value by using the
ipv6 mld snooping tcn flood query count
global
configuration command. The default is to send two queries. The switch also generates MLDv1 global
Done messages with valid link-local IPv6 source addresses when the switch becomes the STP root in the
VLAN or when it is configured by the user. This is same as done in IGMP snooping.

Table 36-1
Default MLD Snooping Configuration
Feature
Default Setting
MLD snooping (Global)
Disabled.
MLD snooping (per VLAN)
Enabled. MLD snooping must be globally enabled for VLAN
MLD snooping to take place.
IPv6 Multicast addresses
None configured.
IPv6 Multicast router ports
None configured.
MLD snooping Immediate Leave
Disabled.
MLD snooping robustness variable
Global: 2; Per VLAN: 0.
Note
The VLAN value overrides the global setting. When the
VLAN value is 0, the VLAN uses the global count.
Last listener query count
Global: 2; Per VLAN: 0.
Note
The VLAN value overrides the global setting. When the
VLAN value is 0, the VLAN uses the global count.
