After a multicast VLAN is created, all the MLD packets will be processed only within the multicast VLAN. Configuration Procedure of Multicast VLAN: Step Operation 1 Create VLAN. 2 Enable MLD snooping globally. 3 Enable the Multicast VLAN. Description Required. On the VLAN →802.1Q VLAN →VLAN Config page, click the Create button to create a VLAN. Enter the VLAN ID and the description for the VLAN. Meanwhile, specify its member ports. Required. On the Multicast →MLD Snooping →Global Config page, enable the MLD snooping function globally. Required.

But MLD is not supported by the devices in Layer 2 network. MLD Snooping Querier can act as an MLD Router in Layer 2 network. It can help to create and maintain multicast forwarding table on the switch with the Query messages it generates. Choose the menu Multicast→MLD Snooping→Querier Config to load the following page. Figure 8-17 Querier Config The following entries are displayed on this screen:  MLD Snooping Querier Config VLAN ID: Query Interval: Enter the VLAN ID which you want to start Querier.
