DGS-3100 Series Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch User Manual Defining MLD Snooping Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping performs the same function for IPv6 multicast routers as IGMP Snooping does for IPv4 multicast routers. The device supports two versions of MLD Snooping: - MLDv1 Snooping detects MLDv1 control packets and sets up traffic bridging based on IPv6 destination multicast addresses. MLDv1 is equivalent to IGMPv2. - MLDv2 Snooping uses control packets to set up traffic forwarding based on source IPv6 address and destination IPv6 multicast address. MLDv2 is equivalent to IGMPv3. In a similar approach to IGMP snooping, MLD frames are snooped as they are forwarded by the switch from stations to an upstream multicast router. This facility allows a switch to determine the following: - Where (on which ports) stations interested in joining a specific multicast group are located - Where (on which ports) multicast routers sending multicast frames are located This knowledge is used to exclude irrelevant ports (ports for which no stations have registered to receive a specific multicast group) from the forwarding set of an incoming multicast frame. Two port types can be defined in the system: - Host port - a port connected to an end-node device running an IGMP/MLD (multicast communication) application. - Multicast Router (mrouter) port - a port connecting multicast router ports to the switch. This port receives all IGMP/MLD control packets (reports and queries) as well as all multicast data traffic associated with dynamic Multicast groups. A port can be both a host port and mrouter port simultaneously. 1. Click L2 Features > MLD Snooping. The MLD Snooping Page opens: Figure 3-13. MLD Snooping Page 79

Defining MLD Snooping

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping performs the same function for IPv6 multicast routers as IGMP Snooping

does for IPv4 multicast routers.

The device supports two versions of MLD Snooping:

–

MLDv1 Snooping detects MLDv1 control packets and sets up traffic bridging based on IPv6 destination

multicast addresses.

MLDv1 is equivalent to IGMPv2.

–

MLDv2 Snooping uses control packets to set up traffic forwarding based on source IPv6 address and

destination IPv6 multicast address.

MLDv2 is equivalent to IGMPv3.

In a similar approach to IGMP snooping, MLD frames are snooped as they are forwarded by the switch from stations to an

upstream multicast router. This facility allows a switch to determine the following:

–

Where (on which ports) stations interested in joining a specific multicast group are located

–

Where (on which ports) multicast routers sending multicast frames are located

This knowledge is used to exclude irrelevant ports (ports for which no stations have registered to receive a specific multicast

group) from the forwarding set of an incoming multicast frame.

Two port types can be defined in the system:

–

Host port - a port connected to an end-node device running an IGMP/MLD (multicast communication)

application.

–

Multicast Router (mrouter) port - a port connecting multicast router ports to the switch. This port receives all

IGMP/MLD control packets (reports and queries) as well as all multicast data traffic associated with dynamic

Multicast groups.

A port can be both a host port and mrouter port simultaneously.
