GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, and GS748Tv5 Smart Switches Table 34. IGMP snooping querier VLAN status (continued) Field Last Querier Address Last Querier Version Operational Max Response Time Description The IP address of the last querier from which a query was snooped on the VLAN. The IGMP protocol version of the last querier from which a query was snooped on the VLAN. The maximum response time to be used in the queries that are sent by the snooping querier. MLD Snooping MLD is a protocol used by IPv6 multicast routers to discover the presence of multicast listeners (nodes wishing to receive IPv6 multicast packets) on its directly attached links and to discover which multicast packets are of interest to neighboring nodes. MLD is derived from IGMP; MLD version 1 (MLDv1) is equivalent to IGMPv2 and MLD version 2 (MLDv2) is equivalent to IGMPv3. MLD is a subprotocol of Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6), and MLD messages are a subset of ICMPv6 messages, identified in IPv6 packets by a preceding Next Header value of 58. The switch can snoop on both MLDv1 and MLDv2 protocol packets and bridge IPv6 multicast data based on destination IPv6 Multicast MAC Addresses. The switch can be configured to perform MLD snooping and IGMP snooping simultaneously. MLD Snooping Configuration In IPv4, Layer 2 switches can use IGMP snooping to limit the flooding of multicast traffic by dynamically configuring Layer 2 interfaces so that multicast traffic is forwarded to only those interfaces associated with IP multicast address. In IPv6, MLD snooping performs a similar function. With MLD snooping, IPv6 multicast data is selectively forwarded to a list of ports that want to receive the data, instead of being flooded to all ports in a VLAN. This list is constructed by snooping IPv6 multicast control packets.  To configure MLD snooping: 1. Select Switching > Multicast > MLD Snooping > MLD Snooping Configuration. 2. From the MLD Snooping Admin Mode list, select Enable to enable the administrative mode for MLD snooping on the switch. 3. Click the Apply button. Configuring Switching 117

MLD Snooping

MLD is a protocol used by IPv6 multicast routers to discover the presence of multicast

listeners (nodes wishing to receive IPv6 multicast packets) on its directly attached links and

to discover which multicast packets are of interest to neighboring nodes. MLD is derived from

IGMP; MLD version 1 (MLDv1) is equivalent to IGMPv2 and MLD version 2 (MLDv2) is

equivalent to IGMPv3. MLD is a subprotocol of Internet Control Message Protocol version 6

(ICMPv6), and MLD messages are a subset of ICMPv6 messages, identified in IPv6 packets

by a preceding Next Header value of 58.

The switch can snoop on both MLDv1 and MLDv2 protocol packets and bridge IPv6 multicast

data based on destination IPv6 Multicast MAC Addresses. The switch can be configured to

perform MLD snooping and IGMP snooping simultaneously.

MLD Snooping Configuration

In IPv4, Layer 2 switches can use IGMP snooping to limit the flooding of multicast traffic by

dynamically configuring Layer 2 interfaces so that multicast traffic is forwarded to only those

interfaces associated with IP multicast address. In IPv6, MLD snooping performs a similar

function. With MLD snooping, IPv6 multicast data is selectively forwarded to a list of ports

that want to receive the data, instead of being flooded to all ports in a VLAN. This list is

constructed by snooping IPv6 multicast control packets.
