ipv6 mld

Use this command to enable the MLD protocol operation on an interface. This command
enables MLD protocol operation in stand-alone mode, and can be used to learn local-
membership information prior to enabling a multicast routing protocol on the interface.

Use the no variant of this command to return all MLD related configuration to the default
(including MLD Snooping).

Syntax

ipv6 mld

no ipv6 mld

Default

MLD is disabled by default.

Mode

Interface Configuration for a specified VLAN interface or a range of VLAN interfaces.

Usage

MLD requires memory for storing data structures, as well as the hardware tables to
implement hardware routing. As the number of ports, VLANs, static and dynamic groups
increases then more memory is consumed. You can track the memory used for MLD with
the command:

Static and dynamic groups (LACP), ports and VLANs are not limited for MLD. For VLANs,
this allows you to configure MLD across more VLANs with fewer ports per VLAN, or fewer
VLANs with more ports per VLAN. For LACPs, you can configure MLD across more LACP
groups with fewer ports per LACP, or fewer LACP groups with more ports per LACP.

Example

Note

There is a 100 MLD interface limit when applying MLD commands to multiple
VLANs. Only the first 100 VLANs have the required multicast structures added
to the interfaces that allow multicast routing. x

310 series switches have a 128

MLD group limit for (*, G) and (S,G) entries. See the limits for MLD interfaces
depending on the number of VLANs, ports, static and dynamic groups as
shown in the relevant product data sheet for your switch.
