Layer 2 MLD Snooping Commands
This chapter describes the Layer 2 Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Snooping commands:
clear mld snooping
Use this command to clear MLD snooping groups and interface.
Command Syntax
clear mld snooping group *
clear mld snooping group X.X.X.X (IFNAME|)
clear mld snooping interface IFNAME
Parameters
*
Displays all groups
IFNAME
The name of the VLAN interface
X:X::X:X
Multicast group Address
Command Mode
Exec mode
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 3.0 and updated in OcNOS version 6.2.0.
Examples
#clear mld snooping group *
mld snooping
Use this command to enable/disable MLD snooping on VLAN interfaces. When this command is given at the VLAN interface level, mld snooping can be enabled/disabled for that VLAN.
Use the no parameter with this command to globally disable MLD Snooping, or for the specified interface.
Command Syntax
mld snooping (enable|disable)
no mld snooping
Parameters
None
Default
By default, MLD Snooping is enabled in global config mode.
Command Mode
Configure mode and Interface mode for VLAN interface.
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 3.0.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#int vlan1.100
(config-if)#mld snooping enable
(config-if)#mld snooping disable
(config)#mld snooping
%% Already enabled by default
(config)#no mld snooping
mld snooping fast-leave
Use this command to enable MLD snooping fast-leave processing. MLD group-membership is removed, as soon as an MLD leave group message is received without sending out a group-specific query.
Use the no parameter with this command to disable fast-leave processing.
Command Syntax
mld snooping fast-leave
no mld snooping fast-leave
Parameters
None
Default
By default, MLD Snooping fast-leave processing is disabled.
Command Mode
Interface mode for VLAN interface
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 3.0.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#interface vlan1.100
(config-if)#mld snooping fast-leave
(config-if)#exit
mld snooping mrouter
Use this command to statically configure the specified VLAN constituent interface as a multicast router interface for MLD snooping in that VLAN.
Use the no parameter with this command to remove the static configuration of the interface as a multicast router interface.
Command Syntax
mld snooping mrouter interface IFNAME
no mld snooping mrouter interface IFNAME
Parameters
IFNAME
Specify the name of the interface.
Default
N/A
Command Mode
Interface mode for VLAN interface
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 3.0.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#interface vlan1.100
(config-if)#mld snooping mrouter interface eth1
(config-if)#exit
mld snooping querier
Use this command to enable MLD querier operation on a subnet (VLAN) when no multicast routing protocol is configured in the subnet (VLAN). When enabled, the MLD snooping querier sends out periodic MLD queries for all interfaces on that VLAN.
The MLD snooping querier uses the 0.0.0.0 source IP address, because it masquerades as a proxy MLD querier for faster network convergence. It does not start or automatically cease the MLD querier operation if it detects a query message from a multicast router. It restarts as MLD snooping querier if no queries are seen within another querier interval.
Note: This command can only be configured on VLAN interfaces.
Use the no parameter with this command to disable MLD querier configuration.
Command Syntax
mld snooping querier
no mld snooping querier
Parameters
None
Default
By default, MLD snooping querier is disabled.
Command Mode
Interface mode for VLAN interface
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 3.0.
Example
#configure terminal
(config)#interface vlan1.100
(config-if)#mld snooping querier
(config-if)#exit
mld snooping report-suppression
Use this command to enable report suppression for MLD version 1.
Use the no parameter to disable report suppression.
Note: MLD Snooping command can only be configured on VLAN interfaces. MLD snooping report suppression is not supported on x86 and Qumran devices.
Command Syntax
mld snooping report-suppression
no mld snooping report-suppression
Parameters
None
Default
By default, MLD snooping report suppression is enabled on x86.
Command Mode
Interface mode for VLAN interface
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 3.0.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#interface vlan1.100
(config-if)#mld snooping report-suppression
(config-if)#exit
