By default, a port can

Configuring MLD snooping querier
This section describes how to configure MLD snooping querier.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure MLD snooping querier, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable MLD snooping in the VLAN.
•
Determine the interval for sending MLD general queries.
•
Determine the MLD last-listener query interval.
•
Determine the maximum response delay for MLD general queries.
•
Determine the source IPv6 address of MLD general queries.
•
Determine the source IPv6 address of MLD multicast-address-specific queries.
Enabling MLD snooping querier
In an IPv6 multicast network that run MLD, a multicast router or Layer 3 multicast switch sends MLD
general queries. This allows all Layer 3 multicast devices can establish and maintain multicast forwarding
entries for forwarding multicast traffic correctly at the network layer. This router or Layer 3 switch is called
the "MLD querier."
However, a Layer 2 multicast switch does not support MLD and it cannot send MLD general queries by
default. When you configure an MLD snooping querier in a network where multicast traffic is only
switched at the data link layer and no Layer 3 multicast devices are present, the Layer 2 switch sends MLD
queries, so that IPv6 multicast forwarding entries can be established and maintained at the data link
layer.
Do not configure an MLD snooping querier in an IPv6 multicast network that runs MLD. Although an MLD
snooping querier does not participate in MLD querier elections, it might affect MLD querier elections
because it sends MLD general queries with a low source IPv6 address. For more information about MLD
querier, see "Configuring MLD."
