Each simulated host is equivalent to an independent host. For example, when receiving an

MLD query, the simulated host corresponding to each configuration responds respectively.

Unlike a static member port, a port configured as a simulated member host will age out like

a dynamic member port.

Configuring Fast Leave Processing

The fast leave processing feature allows the switch to process MLD done messages in a fast

way. With the fast leave processing feature enabled, when receiving an MLD done message on

a port, the switch immediately removes that port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding

table entry for the indicated IPv6 multicast group. Then, when receiving MLD done

multicast-address-specific queries for that IPv6 multicast group, the switch will not forward

them to that port.

In VLANs where only one host is attached to each port, fast leave processing helps improve

bandwidth and resource usage. However, if fast leave processing is enabled on a port to which

more than one host is attached, when one host leaves a multicast group, the other hosts

attached to the port and interested in the same multicast group will fail to receive multicast data

for that group. Therefore, if the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast traffic is already

enabled on the switch or in the VLANs, the fast leave processing function should not be

enabled.
