Enable MLDS in a Specific VLAN

When MLDS is enabled globally, it is enabled in all the existing VLAN interfaces. When MLD snooping is disabled globally, it is disabled in all the existing VLAN interfaces. However, you can enable MLDS on specific VLANs, as described in the following example.

In this example, MLDS is enabled on VLAN 2.

  1. Specify the VLAN for which MLDS is to be enabled.
    SEFOS# configure terminal
    SEFOS(config)# vlan 2
  2. Enable MLDS on the specified VLAN.
    SEFOS(config-vlan)# ipv6 mld snooping
    SEFOS(config-vlan)# end
  3. View the configuration.
    SEFOS# show ipv6 mld snooping vlan 2
     
    Snooping VLAN Configuration for the VLAN 2
      MLD Snooping enabled
      MLD Operating version is V2
      Fast leave is disabled
      Snooping switch is acting as Non-Querier
      Query interval is 125 seconds

    When MLDS is globally enabled or disabled, but not enabled on VLAN 2, the second line in the output of this command is:

    MLD Snooping disabled
