Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to globally enable MLD snooping on the switch:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
ipv6 mld snooping
Step 3
end
Step 4
copy running-config startup-config
To globally disable MLD snooping on the switch, use the no ipv6 mld snooping global configuration
command.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable MLD snooping on a VLAN.
When the IPv6 multicast router is a Catalyst 6500 switch and you are using extended VLANs (in the
Note
range 1006 to 4094), IPv6 MLD snooping must be enabled on the extended VLAN on the Catalyst 6500
switch in order for the Catalyst 2360 switch to receive queries on the VLAN. For normal-range VLANs
(1 to 1005), it is not necessary to enable IPv6 MLD snooping on the VLAN on the Catalyst 6500 switch.
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
ipv6 mld snooping
Step 3
ipv6 mld snooping vlan vlan-id
Step 4
end
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
To disable MLD snooping on a VLAN interface, use the no ipv6 mld snooping vlan vlan-id global
configuration command for the specified VLAN number.
