MLD Snooping must be enabled globally before it can be enabled in a VLAN.
z
After enabling MLD Snooping in a VLAN, you cannot enable MLD and/or IPv6 PIM
on the corresponding VLAN interface, and vice versa.
z
When you enable MLD Snooping in a specified VLAN, this function takes effect for
Ethernet ports in this VLAN only.
3.3.3 Configuring the Version of MLD Snooping
By configuring the MLD Snooping version, you actually configure the version of MLD
messages that MLD Snooping can process.
z
MLD Snooping version 1 can process MLDv1 messages, but cannot analyze and
process MLDv2 messages, which will be flooded in the VLAN.
z
MLD Snooping version 2 can process MLDv1 and MLDv2 messages.
