mld-snooping-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.
Syntax mld-snooping-show
Defaults None.
