Layer 2 Switching Commands 521IPv6 MLD Snooping QuerierCommandsDell EMC Networking N1100-ON/N1500/N2000/N2100-ON/N3000/N3100-ON/N4000 Series SwitchesThe MLD Snooping Querier is an extension of the MLD Snooping feature.MLD Snooping Querier allows the switch to simulate an MLD router in aLayer 2-only network, thus removing the need to have an MLD Router tocollect the multicast group membership information. The querier functionsimulates a small subset of the MLD router functionality.In a network with IP multicast routing, the IP multicast router acts as theMLD querier. However, if it is required that the IP-multicast traffic in aVLAN be switched, the switch can be configured as an MLD querier. WhenMLD Snooping Querier is enabled, the Querier sends out periodic MLDGeneral Queries that trigger the Multicast listeners/member to send theirjoins so as to receive the Multicast data traffic. MLD Snooping listens tothese reports to establish the appropriate forwarding table entries.Commands in this SectionThis section explains the following commands:ipv6 mld snooping querierUse the ipv6 mld snooping querier command to enable MLD SnoopingQuerier on the system.
