MLD Configuration Guidelines

To configure MLD, you include statements at the [edit protocols mld] hierarchy level of the configuration:

[edit]

protocols {

    mld {

        interface interface-name {

            disable; 

            static {

                group group {

                    source source; 

                }    

            }

            version version;

        }

        query-interval seconds; 

        query-last-member-interval seconds; 

        query-response-interval seconds; 

        robust-count number; 

        traceoptions {

            file name <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp> 

                <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>;

            flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 

        }

    } 

} 

By default, MLD is automatically enabled on all broadcast interfaces on which you configure  PIM.

This chapter describes the following tasks for configuring MLD:

• Minimum MLD Configuration

• Modify the MLD Host-Query Message Interval
• Modify the MLD Query Response Interval
• Modify the Last-Member Query Interval
