Configuring parameters for MLD general queries and responses
![[CAUTION: ]](images/caution.png) | CAUTION: To avoid mistakenly deleting multicast group members, make sure the MLD general query interval is greater than the maximum response time for MLD general queries. | |
you can modify the MLD general query interval based on the actual network conditions.
A receiver host starts a report delay timer for each IPv6 multicast group that it has joined when it receives an MLD general query. This timer is set to a random value in the range of 0 to the maximum response time advertised in the query. When the timer value decreases to 0, the host sends an MLD report to the corresponding IPv6 multicast group.
Set an appropriate value for the maximum response time for MLD general queries to speed up hosts' responses to MLD general queries and avoid MLD report traffic bursts.
You can set the maximum response time for MLD general queries globally for all VLANs in MLD-snooping view or for a VLAN in VLAN view. For a VLAN, the VLAN-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration.
Setting the maximum response time for MLD general queries globally
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter MLD-snooping view. | mld-snooping | N/A |
3. Set the maximum response time for MLD general queries. | max-response-time interval | The default setting is 10 seconds. |
Configuring parameters for MLD general queries and responses in a VLAN
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter VLAN view. | vlan vlan-id | N/A |
3. Set the MLD general query interval for the VLAN. | mld-snooping query-interval interval | The default setting is 125 seconds. |
4. Set the maximum response time for MLD general queries in the VLAN. | mld-snooping max-response-time interval | The default setting is 10 seconds. |
