mld-snooping-modify
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) is a Layer 3 multicast protocol used between IPv6 hosts and routers similar to how IGMP is used for IPv4. MLD snooping allows a switch to examine MLD packets and make forwarding decisions based on their content.
MLD snooping constrains IPv6 multicast traffic at Layer 2 by configuring Layer 2 LAN ports dynamically to forward IPv6 multicast traffic only to those ports that want to receive it.
The default behavior, when you do not configure MLD Snooping, Netvisor forwards multicast traffic to all the switch ports, impacting switch performance.

Usage When MLD Snooping is not configured, multicast traffic is forwarded to all the switch ports, impacting switch performance. Use this command to modify the scope of MLD Snooping, enable snooping on specific VLANs, link-local groups, or ND SN multicast addresses, or to disable snooping.
Examples To modify the scope from local to fabric use the following syntax:
CLI network-admin@switch > mld-snooping-modify scope fabric
