multicast devices only. The switch listens to the MLD messages between multicast routers and 
listeners, and maintains the multicast group forwarding list based on the listening result. The 
switches forwards multicast packets according to the multicast forwarding list 
The switch realizes the MLD Snooping function while supporting MLD v2. This way, the user 
can acquire IPv6 multicast with the switch. 
29.7.2 MLD Snooping Configuration Task 
1. Enable the MLD Snooping function 
2. Configure the MLD Snooping 
1. Enable the MLD Snooping function 
Command 
Explanation 
Global Mode 
ipv6 mld snooping 
no ipv6 mld snooping 
Enable  global  MLD  Snooping,  the  “no  ipv6 
mld snooping” command disables the global 
MLD snooping. 
2. Configure MLD Snooping 
Command 
Explanation 
Global Mode 
ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id>  
no ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id>  
Enable MLD Snooping on specific VLAN. The 
“no”  form  of  this  command  disables  MLD 
Snooping on specific VLAN. 
ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id> limit 
{group <g_limit> | source <s_limit>}  
no ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id> limit 
Configure the number of the groups in which 
the  MLD  Snooping  can  join,  and  the 
maximum number of  sources  in  each group. 
The “no” form of this command restores to the 
default. 
ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id> l2-
general-querier 
no ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id> l2-
general-querier 
Set the VLAN level 2 general querier, which is 
recommended  on  each  segment.  The  “no” 
form  of  this  command  cancels  the  level  2 
general querier configuration. 
ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id> mrouter-
port interface <interface –name>  
no ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id> 
mrouter-port interface <interface –name>  
Configure the  static  mrouter  port  in  specific 
vlan. The “no” form of this command  cancels 
the mrouter port configuration. 
ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id> mrouter-
port learnpim6 
no ipv6 mld snooping vlan <vlan-id> 
Enable  the  function  that  the  specified  VLAN 
learns  mrouter-port  (according  to  pimv6 
packets),  the  no  command  will  disable  the
