Basic Concepts in MLD Snooping
MLD Snooping related ports
As shown in Figure 1-2 , Router A connects to the multicast source, MLD Snooping runs on Switch A and
Switch B, Host A and Host C are receiver hosts (namely, IPv6 multicast group members).

Router port
Member port
Ports involved in MLD Snooping, as shown in
Figure 1-2 , are described as follows:
z
Router port: A router port is a port on the Ethernet switch that leads switch towards the Layer-3
multicast device (DR or MLD querier). In the figure, GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Switch A and
GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Switch B are router ports. The switch registers all its local router ports in its
router port list.
z
Member port: A member port (also known as IPv6 multicast group member port) is a port on the
Ethernet switch that leads towards multicast group members. In the figure, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2
and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 of Switch A and GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 of Switch B are member ports.
The switch registers all the member ports on the local device in its MLD Snooping forwarding table.
