OcNOS-SP : Multicast Guide : Multicast Command Reference : Layer 2 MLD Snooping Commands : mld snooping querier
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.
