Enabling the MLD snooping querier
This feature enables the switch to periodically send MLD general queries to establish and maintain multicast forwarding entries at the data link Layer. You can configure an MLD snooping querier on a network without Layer 3 multicast devices.
When you enable the MLD snooping querier, Do not enable the MLD snooping querier on an IPv6 multicast network that runs MLD. An MLD snooping querier does not participate in MLD querier elections. However, it might affect MLD querier elections if it sends MLD general queries with a low source IPv6 address.
