ProSafe M5300 Switch MLD MLD is used by IPv6 systems (listeners and routers) to report their IP multicast addresses memberships to any neighboring multicast routers. The implementation of MLD v2 is backward compatible with MLD v1. MLD protocol enables the IPv6 router to discover the presence of multicast listeners, the nodes that want to receive the multicast data packets, on its directly attached interfaces. The protocol specifically discovers which multicast addresses are of interest to its neighboring nodes and provides this information to the multicast routing protocol that make the decision on the flow of the multicast data packets. From the MLD link, you can access the following pages: • MLD Global Configuration on page 321 • MLD Routing Interface Configuration on page 322 • MLD Routing Interface Statistics on page 323 • MLD Groups on page 324 • MLD Traffic on page 325 • MLD Proxy Interface Configuration on page 326 • MLD Proxy Interface Statistics on page 327 • MLD Proxy Membership on page 328 MLD Global Configuration To display the MLD Global Configuration page, click Routing IPv6 Multicast MLD  Global Configuration.
