Configuring a port as a simulated member host

When a port is configured as a simulated member host, it is equivalent to an independent host in the following ways:

• It sends an unsolicited MLD report when you complete the configuration.

• It responds to MLD general queries with MLD reports.

• It sends an MLD done message when you remove the configuration.

The version of MLD running on the simulated member host is the same as the version of MLD snooping running on the port. The port ages out in the same ways as a dynamic member port.

1. Enter system view.

   system-view

2. Enter Layer 2 interface view.

   • Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view.

     interface interface-type interface-number

   • Enter Layer 2 aggregate interface view.

     interface bridge-aggregation interface-number

3. Configure the port as a simulated member host.

   mld-snooping host-join ipv6-group-address [ source-ip ipv6-source-address ] vlan vlan-id

   By default, the port is not a simulated member host.
