mld-show
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 MLD Snooping is not configured, multicast traffic will be forwarded to all the switch ports, impacting switch performance.
Syntax mld-show

vnet vnet-name |
Name of the vNET assigned to the MLD configuration. |
|
l2-net l2-net-name |
Name of the Layer 2 network. |

History
|
Version 2.3 |
Command introduced. |
|
Version 2.4.1 |
The parameter switch deprecated. The parameter vnet added. |
|
Version 3.0.0 |
The parameter l2-net added. |
Usage Default behavior, when MLD is not configured, forwards multicast traffic to all the switch ports, impacting switch performance.
Examples To display MLD parameters for the local switch, use the following command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > mld-show
switch group-ip node-ip vlan port source expires(s)
