Enabling IPv6 multicast forwarding on a non-querier interface
Typically, only MLD queriers can forward IPv6 multicast traffic and non-queriers cannot. This
prevents IPv6 multicast data from being repeatedly forwarded. If a router interface on the MLD proxy
failed the querier election, enable IPv6 multicast forwarding on the interface to forward IPv6 multicast
data to downstream receivers.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
A shared-media network might have multiple MLD proxies, including one proxy acting as a querier.
To avoid duplicate IPv6 multicast traffic, do not enable IPv6 multicast forwarding on any of the
non-querier MLD proxies for the network.

Configuring IPv6 multicast load splitting on an MLD proxy
This feature enables all proxy interfaces on an MLD proxy device to share IPv6 multicast traffic on a
per-group basis.

By default, IPv6 multicast load
splitting is disabled on an MLD
proxy, and only the proxy
interface with the highest IP
address forwards IPv6 multicast
data.
Enabling MLD NSR
This feature backs up information about MLD interfaces and MLD multicast groups to the standby
process. The device recovers the information without cooperation of other devices when an
