MLD snooping overview

Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping is an IPv6 multicast constraining mechanism that runs on

Layer 2 switches to manage and control IPv6 multicast groups.

Introduction to MLD snooping

By analyzing received MLD messages, a Layer 2 switch that is running MLD snooping establishes

mappings between ports and multicast MAC addresses and forwards IPv6 multicast data based on these

mappings.

As shown in Figure 21, w

hen MLD snooping is not running, IPv6 multicast packets are broadcast to all

devices at Layer 2. When MLD snooping runs, multicast packets for known IPv6 multicast groups are

multicast to the receivers at Layer 2.
