IPv6 addresses are composed of
eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons. IPv6 hosts
can configure themselves automatically when connected to an IPv6 network
using the ND (neighbor discovery) protocol via ICMPv6 router
discovery messages. When first connected to a network, a host sends a
link-local router solicitation multicast request for its configuration
parameters. Routers respond to such a request with a RA (router
advertisement) packet that contains Internet layer
configuration parameters.
MLD snooping
enables a access point, wireless controller, or service platform to
examine MLD packets and make forwarding decisions based on the content.
MLD is used by IPv6 devices to discover devices wanting to receive
multicast packets destined for specific multicast addresses. MLD uses
multicast listener queries and multicast listener reports to identify
which multicast addresses have listeners and join multicast groups.
MLD snooping caps the flooding
of IPv6 multicast traffic on controller, service platform or access point
VLANs. When enabled, MLD messages between hosts and multicast routers are
examined to identify the hosts receiving multicast group traffic. The
access point, wireless controller, or service platform forward multicast
traffic only to those interfaces connected to interested receivers
instead of flooding traffic to all interfaces.
This option is enabled by default.
forward-unknown-multicast
Optional. Enables forwarding of multicast packets from unregistered multicast groups. If disabled, the unknown multicast forward feature is also disabled for individual VLANs. This option is enabled by default.
Configures MLD
snooping parameters. This option is enabled by default.
mrouter
Optional.
Configures the multicast router parameters, such as interfaces and learning
protocol used.
interface
<INTERFACE-LIST>
Configures the
multicast router interfaces. This option is disabled by default.
<INTERFACE-LIST> –
Specify a comma-separated list of interface names.
learn
pim-dvmrp
Configures the
multicast router learning protocols. This option is disabled by default.
pim-dvmrp – Enables PIM
and DVMRP snooping of packets
ipv6 mld snooping {querier} {max-response-time <1-25000>|timer expiry <60-300>| version <1-2>}
ipv6
Configures the
VLAN bridge IPv6 parameters
mld
snooping
Configures IPv6
MLD snooping parameters. This option is disabled by default.
querier
Optional.
Enables and configures the MLD querier parameters. When enabled, the device
(access point, wireless controller, and service platform) sends query
messages to discover which network devices are members of a given multicast
group. This option is disabled by default.
max-response-time <1-25000>
Optional.
Configures the IPv6 MLD querier‘s maximum response time. This option is
disabled by default.
<1-25000> – Specify
the maximum response time from 1 - 25000 milliseconds.
timer expiry
<60-300>
Optional.
Configures the IPv6 MLD other querier‘s timeout. This option is disabled by
default.
<60-300> – Specify
the MLD other querier‘s timeout from 60 - 300 seconds.
version
<1-2>
Optional.
Configures the IPv6 MLD querier version. This option is disabled by
default.
<1-2> – Specify the
MLD version. The versions are 1- 2.
ipv6 nd raguard
ipv6
Configures the
VLAN bridge IPv6 parameters
nd
raguard
Allows RA or
ICMPv6 redirects on this VLAN bridge. This option is enabled by
default.
