NETGEAR 8800 User Manual Managing MLD The following sections describe how to manage MLD on the switch: • Enabling and Disabling MLD on a VLAN on page 760 • Configuring MLD on page 760 • Clearing MLD Group Registration on page 760 • Configuring Static MLD Groups and Routers on page 760 • Displaying MLD Information on page 761 Enabling and Disabling MLD on a VLAN MLD is enabled by default on all VLANs. This allows IPv6 hosts to register with IPv6 multicast groups and receive IPv6 multicast traffic. You can disable MLD using the following command: disable mld {vlan } To enable MLD on a VLAN after it has been disabled, use the following command: enable mld {vlan } {MLDv1 | MLDv2} Configuring MLD To configure the timers that control MLD operation, use the following command: configure mld {} Clearing MLD Group Registration To clear a single group or all groups in a VLAN learned through MLD, use the following command: clear mld group {} {{vlan} } Configuring Static MLD Groups and Routers In some situations, you might want multicast traffic to be forwarded to a port where a multicast-enabled host is not available (for example, when you test multicast configurations). Static MLD emulates a host or router attached to a switch port, so that multicast traffic is forwarded to that port, and the switch sends a proxy join for all the statically configured MLD groups when an MLD query is received. You can emulate a host to forward a particular multicast group to a port; and you may emulate a router to forward all multicast groups to a port. To emulate a host on a port, use the following command: 760 | Chapter 28. IPv6 Multicast
