•
Last Member Query Counter
—Enter the number of IGMP group-specific
queries sent before the switch assumes there are no more members for the
group, if the switch is the elected querier.
•
Last Member Query Interval
—Enter the maximum response delay to be
used if the switch cannot read maximum response time value from group-
specific queries sent by the elected querier.
•
Immediate Leave
—Enable the immediate leave to decrease the time it
takes to block a Multicast stream sent to a member port when an IGMP group
leave message is received on that port.
•
IGMP Querier Status
—Enable or disable the IGMP querier.
There should be only one IGMP querier in a network. The switch supports
standards-based IGMP querier election. Some of the values of the
operational parameters of this table are sent by the elected querier. The
other values are derived from the switch.
•
IGMP Querier Version
—Select the IGMP version used if the switch
becomes the elected querier. Select IGMPv3 if there are switches and/or
Multicast routers in the VLAN that perform source-specific IP Multicast
forwarding.

Configuring MLD Snooping
To support selective Multicast forwarding (IPv6), MLD Snooping must be enabled
globally and for each relevant VLAN. The switch supports MLD Snooping on both
static and dynamic VLANs.
Hosts use the MLD protocol to report their participation in Multicast sessions, and
the switch uses MLD Snooping to build Multicast membership lists. It uses these
lists to forward Multicast packets only to switch ports where there are host nodes
that are members of the Multicast groups. The switch does not support MLD
querier.
The switch supports two MLD Snooping versions:
•
MLDv1 Snooping detects MLDv1 control packets, and sets up traffic
bridging, based on IPv6 destination Multicast addresses.
