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.

Syntax   mld-snooping-modify

scope local|fabric

Modify the scope of MLD Snooping to local or fabric.

enable|disable

Enable, disable MLD Snooping. Default: disable

mldv1-vlans vlan-list

mldv2-vlans vlan-list

VLANs on which to enable snooping, and use MLDv2 protocol. Default 1 - 4092

snoop-linklocal-vlans vlan-list

Allow snooping of link-local groups (ff02::/16) on these vlans. Default 1 - 4092

snoop-nd-vlans vlan-list

Allow snooping of ND SN Multicast addresses (ff02::1:ff/104) on these vlans. Default 1 - 4092
