xStack® DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch sec) table as a listening node of a multicast group without the Switch receiving a node listener report. The user may specify a time between 1 and 16711450 with a default setting of 260 seconds. Done Timer (1-16711450 sec) Specifies the maximum amount of time a router can remain in the Switch after receiving a done message from the group without receiving a node listener report. The user may specify a time between 1 and 16711450 with a default setting of 2 seconds. Querier State Choose Enabled to enable transmitting MLD Snooping Query packets or Disabled to disable. The default is Disabled. Querier Router Behavior This read-only field describes the current querier state of the Switch, whether Querier, which will send out Multicast Listener Query Messages to links, or NonQuerier, which will not send out Multicast Listener Query Messages. State Used to enable or disable MLD snooping for the specified VLAN. This field is Disabled by default. Fast Done This parameter allows the user to enable the fast done function. Enabled, this function will allow members of a multicast group to leave the group immediately when a done message is received by the Switch. NOTE: The robustness variable of the MLD snooping querier is used in creating the following MLD message intervals: Group Listener Interval - The amount of time that must pass before a multicast router decides that there are no more listeners present of a group on a network. Calculated as (robustness variable * query interval ) + (1 * query response interval). Querier Present Interval - The amount of time that must pass before a multicast router decides that there are no other querier devices present. Calculated as (robustness variable * query interval) + (0.5 * query response interval). Last Listener Query Count - The amount of group-specific queries sent before the router assumes there are no local listeners in this group. The default value is the value of the robustness variable. Click Apply to implement changes made. Click the Show All MLD Snooping Entries link to return to the MLD Snooping Settings window. MLD Router Port Settings The following window is used to designate a port or range of ports as being connected to multicast enabled routers. When IPv6 routing control packets, such as OSPFv3 or MLD Query packets are found in an Ethernet port or specified VLAN, the Switch will set these ports as dynamic router ports. Once set, this will ensure that all packets with a multicast router as its destination will arrive at the multicast-enabled router, regardless of protocol. If the Router's Aging Time expires and no routing control packets or query packets are received by the port, that port will be removed from being a router port. To configure these settings, click L2 Features > MLD Snooping > MLD Router Port Settings, as shown below: Figure 3- 46. MLD Router Port Settings window To configure the router ports settings for a specified VLAN, click its corresponding Modify button, which will produce the following window for the user to configure. 128

table as a listening node of a multicast group without the Switch receiving a node
listener report. The user may specify a time between
1
and
16711450
with a default
setting of
260
seconds.
Done Timer (1-16711450 sec)
Specifies the maximum amount of time a router can remain in the Switch after
receiving a done message from the group without receiving a node listener report.
The user may specify a time between
1
and
16711450
with a default setting of 2
seconds.
Querier State
Choose
Enabled
to enable transmitting MLD Snooping Query packets or
Disabled
to
disable. The default is
Disabled
.
Querier Router Behavior
This read-only field describes the current querier state of the Switch, whether
Querier, which will send out Multicast Listener Query Messages to links, or Non-
Querier, which will not send out Multicast Listener Query Messages.
State
Used to enable or disable MLD snooping for the specified VLAN. This field is
Disabled
by default.
Fast Done
This parameter allows the user to enable the
fast done
function. Enabled, this
function will allow members of a multicast group to leave the group immediately
when a
done
message is received by the Switch.
NOTE:
The robustness variable of the MLD snooping querier is used in creating the following
MLD message intervals:
Group Listener Interval
– The amount of time that must pass before a multicast router decides
that there are no more listeners present of a group on a network. Calculated as (robustness
variable * query interval ) + (1 * query response interval).
Querier Present Interval
– The amount of time that must pass before a multicast router
decides that there are no other querier devices present. Calculated as (robustness variable *
query interval) + (0.5 * query response interval).
Last Listener Query Count
– The amount of group-specific queries sent before the router
assumes there are no local listeners in this group. The default value is the value of the
robustness variable.

Show All MLD Snooping Entries
link to return to the MLD Snooping Settings

MLD Router Port Settings
The following window is used to designate a port or range of ports as being connected to multicast enabled routers. When IPv6
routing control packets, such as OSPFv3 or MLD Query packets are found in an Ethernet port or specified VLAN, the Switch will
set these ports as dynamic router ports. Once set, this will ensure that all packets with a multicast router as its destination will
arrive at the multicast-enabled router, regardless of protocol. If the Router’s Aging Time expires and no routing control packets or
query packets are received by the port, that port will be removed from being a router port.
To configure these settings, click
L2 Features > MLD Snooping > MLD Router Port Settings
, as shown below:

To configure the router ports settings for a specified VLAN, click its corresponding
Modify
