Disable the port from

By default, a port can become a
dynamic router port.
This configuration does not affect
the static router port configuration.
Configuring the MLD snooping querier
This section describes how to configure an MLD snooping querier.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure an MLD snooping querier for a VLAN, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable MLD snooping for the VLAN.
•
Determine the MLD general query interval.
•
Determine the MLD last listener query interval.
•
Determine the maximum response time for MLD general queries.
Enabling the MLD snooping querier
This feature enables the switch to periodically send MLD general queries to establish and maintain
multicast forwarding entries at the data link Layer. You can configure an MLD snooping querier on a
network without Layer 3 multicast devices.
Do not enable the MLD snooping querier on an IPv6 multicast network that runs MLD. An MLD
snooping querier does not participate in MLD querier elections. However, it might affect MLD querier
elections if it sends MLD general queries with a low source IPv6 address.
To enable the MLD snooping querier for a VLAN:

3.
Enable the MLD snooping
querier for the VLAN.
mld-snooping querier
By default, the MLD snooping
querier is disabled for a VLAN.
Configuring parameters for MLD queries and responses
CAUTION:
To avoid mistakenly deleting IPv6 multicast group members, make sure the MLD general query
interval is greater than the maximum response time for MLD general queries.
You can modify the MLD general query interval based on the actual network conditions.
A receiver host starts a timer for each IPv6 multicast group that it has joined when it receives an MLD
query (general query or multicast-address-specific query). This timer is initialized to a random value
in the range of 0 to the maximum response time advertised in the MLD query message. When the
timer value decreases to 0, the host sends an MLD report to the IPv6 multicast group.
