config mld_snooping querier
guarantees MLD snooping.
Syntax
config mld_snooping querier [vlan_name <vlan_name 32> | all] {query_interval <sec 1-
65535> | max_response_time <sec 1-25> | robustness_variable <value 1-255> |
last_listener_query_interval <sec 1-25> | state [enable | disable] | version <value 1-2>
}(1)
Description
This command configures the timer in seconds between general query transmissions, the
maximum time in seconds to wait for reports from listeners, and the permitted packet loss
that is guaranteed by MLD snooping.
Parameters
vlan_name
- Specify the name of the VLAN for which MLD snooping querier is to be
configured.
all
- Specify all VLANs for which MLD snooping querier is to be configured.
query_interval
- Specify the amount of time in seconds between general query transmissions.
The default setting is 125 seconds..
max_reponse_time
- Specify the maximum time in seconds to wait for reports from listeners.
The default setting is 10 seconds.
robustness_variable
- Provides fine-tuning to allow for expected packet loss on a subnet. The
value of the robustness variable is used in calculating the following MLD message intervals:
Group listener interval
- Amount of time that must pass before a multicast router decides
there are no more listeners of a group on a network. This interval is calculated as follows:
(robustness variable * query interval) + (1 * query response interval).
Other querier present interval
- Amount of time that must pass before a multicast router
decides that there is no longer another multicast router that is the querier. This interval is
calculated as follows: (robustness variable * query interval) + (0.5 * query response interval).
Last listener query count
- Number of group-specific queries sent before the router
assumes there are no local listeners of a group. The default number is the value of the
robustness variable.
By default
, the robustness variable is set to 2. You might want to increase this value if you
expect a subnet to be loosely.
last_listener_query_interval
- Specify the maximum amount of time between group-specific
query messages, including those sent in response to done-group messages. You might lower
this interval to reduce the amount of time it takes a router to detect the loss of the last listener
of a group.
state
- This allows the switch to be specified as an MLD Querier (sends MLD query packets)
or a Non-Querier (does not send MLD query packets). Set to enable or disable.
version <value 1-2>
- Specify the version of MLD packet that will be sent by this port. If a
MLD packet received by the interface has a version higher than the specified version, this
packet will be dropped.
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure the MLD snooping querier:
DGS-3627:admin# config mld_snooping querier vlan default query_interval 125 state enable
Command: config mld_snooping querier vlan default query_interval 125 state enable
Success.
DGS-3627:admin#
config mld_snooping mrouter_ports

config mld_snooping mrouter_ports
Syntax
config mld_snooping mrouter_ports vlan <vlan_name 32> [add | delete] <portlist>
Description
This command allows you to designate a range of ports as being connected to multicast-
enabled routers. This will ensure that all packets with such a router as its destination will
reach the multicast-enabled router, regardless of protocol, etc.
Parameters
vlan
- Specify the name of the VLAN on which the router port resides.
add
|
delete
- Specify to add or delete the router ports.
portlist
- Specify a range of ports to be configured. (UnitID:port number)
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To set up static router ports:
DGS-3627:admin# config mld_snooping mrouter_ports default add 2:1-2:10
Command: config mld_snooping mrouter_ports default add 2:1-2:10
Success.
DGS-3627:admin#
config mld_snooping mrouter_ports_forbidden
Purpose
Used to configure ports as forbidden router ports.
Syntax
config mld_snooping mrouter_ports_forbidden vlan <vlan_name 32> [add | delete]
<portlist>
Description
This command allows you to designate a range of ports as being not connected to multicast-
enabled routers. This ensures that the forbidden router port will not propagate routing
packets out.
Parameters
vlan
- Specify the name of the VLAN on which the router port resides.
add
|
delete
- Specify to add or delete the router ports.
portlist
- Specify a range of ports to be configured. (UnitID:port number)
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To set up port range 1-10 to forbidden router ports of the default VLAN:
DGS-3627:admin# config mld_snooping mrouter_ports_forbidden default add 1-10
Command: config mld_snooping mrouter_ports_forbidden default add 1-10
Success.
DGS-3627:admin#
enable mld_snooping
Purpose
Used to enable MLD snooping on the switch.
Syntax
enable mld_snooping {forward_mcrouter_only}
Description
This command allows you to enable MLD snooping on the switch. The
forward_mcrouter_only function is disabled by default. The enable mld_snooping

324
enable mld_snooping
forward_mcrouter_only command will enable the MLD snooping function and the forward
multicast router only function.
If forward multicast router only is enabled, the switch will forward all multicast traffic to the
multicast router, only. Otherwise, the switch forwards all multicast traffic to any IP router.
Parameters
forward_mcrouter_only
- If specified, the switch will learn the router port based on
identification of the multicast routing protocol packet and MLD control packet.
If not specified, the switch will learn the router port based on identification of the unicast
routing protocol packet, the multicast routing protocol packet, and the MLD control packet.
When the switch receives an MLD report packet from a port, this port will be learned as a
member port of the multicast group that the port is reported, and the router will be a default
member of this multicast group. The multicast packet destined for this multicast group will be
forwarded to all the members of this multicast group.
The identification of a router port will also affect the forwarding of the MLD control packet.
When the switch receives the MLD report packet from the client member, it will forward the
packet to the router port. If the switch receives the MLD query packet from the router port, it
will forward the packet to the client member port. (If the switch itself is the querier, then it will
issue the query packet to the client member port.)
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To enable MLD snooping on the switch:
DGS-3627:admin# enable mld_snooping
Command: enable mld_snooping
Success.
DGS-3627:admin#
disable mld_snooping
Purpose
Used to disable MLD snooping on the switch.
Syntax
disable mld_snooping {forward_mcrouter_only}
Description
This command disables MLD snooping on the switch. Disabling MLD snooping allows all
MLD and IP multicast traffic to flood within a given IP interface. Note that disabling MLD
snooping will also disable the forward multicast router only function.
The disable mld_snooping forward_mcrouter_only command will only disable the forward
multicast router only function.
Parameters
forward_mcrouter_only
- If specified, the switch will learn the router port based on
identification of the multicast routing protocol packet and MLD control packet.
If not specified, the switch will learn the router port based on identification of the unicast
routing protocol packet, the multicast routing protocol packet, and the MLD control packet.
When the switch receives an MLD report packet from a port, this port will be learned as a
member port of the multicast group that the port is reported, and the router will be a default
member of this multicast group. The multicast packet destined for this multicast group will be
forwarded to all the members of this multicast group.
The identification of a router port will also affect the forwarding of the MLD control packet.
When the switch receives the MLD report packet from the client member, it will forward the
packet to the router port. If the switch receives the MLD query packet from the router port, it
will forward the packet to the client member port. (If the switch itself is the querier, then it will
issue the query packet to the client member port.)
