Modifying the MLD Host-Query Message Interval

The MLD querier router periodically sends general host-query messages. These messages solicit group membership information and are sent to the link-scope all-nodes address FF02::1.

By default, host-query messages are sent every 125 seconds. You can change the number of MLD messages sent on the subnet by changing the query interval value. The larger the value, the less often MLD queries are sent.

To modify the interval value, include the query-interval statement:

query-interval seconds; 

You can configure this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit protocols mld]
• [edit logical-routers logical-router-name protocols mld]

The query interval value can range from 1 through 1024 seconds.
