configure mld snooping filters [per-port | per-vlan]

Description

Selects the type of MLD snooping filters that are installed.

Syntax Description


per-port	Installs the per-port MLD snooping filters.
per-vlan	Installs the per-VLAN MLD snooping filters.

Default

per-port.

Usage Guidelines

Use the per-vlan option when the number of VLANs configured on the switch is lower than half of the maximum numbers listed in Maximum Number of VLANs Supported by per-VLAN IGMP Snooping Filters. This option conserves usage of the hardware Layer 3 multicast forwarding table.

When the number of configured VLANs is larger than half of the maximum values listed in Maximum Number of VLANs Supported by per-VLAN IGMP Snooping Filters, select the per-port option. Each VLAN requires additional interface hardware ACL resources. The per-port option conserves usage of the interface hardware ACL resources.

To display the MLD snooping filters configuration, use the show mld snooping command.

Example

The following command configures the switch to install the per-VLAN MLD snooping filters:

configure mld snooping filters per-vlan
