MLD-Proxy is the IPv6 equivalent of IGMP-Proxy. MLD-Proxy commands allow you to configure the network device as well as to view device settings and statistics using either serial interface or telnet session. The operation of MLD-Proxy commands is the same as for IGMP-Proxy: MLD is for IPv6 and IGMP is for IPv4.MGMD is a term used to refer to both IGMP and MLD.
ipv6 mld-proxy
Use this command to enable MLD-Proxy on the interface or range of interfaces. To enable MLD-Proxy on the interface, you must enable multicast forwarding. Also, make sure that there are no other multicast routing protocols enabled n the router.
Format: ipv6 mld-proxy
Mode: Interface Config
no ipv6 mld-proxy
Use this command to disable MLD-Proxy on the router.
Format: no ipv6 mld-proxy
Mode: Interface Config
ipv6 mld-proxy unsolicit-rprt-interval
Use this command to set the unsolicited report interval for the MLD-Proxy interface or range of interfaces. This command is only valid when you enable MLD-Proxy on the interface. The value of interval is 1-260 seconds.
Use this command to reset the MLD-Proxy router's unsolicited report interval to the default value.
Format: no ipv6 mld-proxy unsolicit-rprt-interval
Mode: Interface Config
ipv6 mld-proxy reset-status
Use this command to reset the host interface status parameters of the MLD-Proxy interface or range of interfaces. This command is only valid when you enable MLD-Proxy on the interface.
Format: ipv6 mld-proxy reset-status
Mode: Interface Config
show ipv6 mld-proxy
Use this command to display a summary of the host interface status parameters.
Format: show ipv6 mld-proxy
Mode: Privileged EXEC\User EXEC
Interface Index: The interface number of the MLD-Proxy.
Admin Mode: Indicates whether MLD-Proxy is enabled or disabled. This is a configured value.
Operational Mode: Indicates whether MLD-Proxy is operationally enabled or disabled. This is a status parameter.
Version: The present MLD host version that is operational on the proxy interface.
Number of Multicast Groups: The number of multicast groups that are associated with the MLD-Proxy interface.
Unsolicited Report Interval: The time interval at which the MLD-Proxy interface sends unsolicited group membership report.
Querier IP Address on Proxy Interface: The IP address of the Querier, if any, in the network attached to the upstream interface (MLD-Proxy interface).
Older Version 1 Querier Timeout: The interval used to timeout the older version 1 queriers.
Proxy Start Frequency: The number of times the MLD-Proxy has been stopped and started.
show ipv6 mld-proxy interface
This command displays a detailed list of the host interface status parameters. It displays the following parameters only when you enable MLD-Proxy.
Format: show ipv6 mld-proxy interface
Modes: Privileged EXEC\User EXEC
Interface Index: The unit/slot/port of the MLD-proxy.
Ver: The MLD version.
Query Rcvd: Number of MLD queries received.
Report Rcvd: Number of MLD reports received.
Report Sent: Number of MLD reports sent.
Leaves Rcvd: Number of MLD leaves received. Valid for version 2 only.
Leaves Sent: Number of MLD leaves sent on the Proxy interface. Valid for version 2 only.
show ipv6 mld-proxy groups
Use this command to display information about multicast groups that the MLD-Proxy reported.
Format: show ipv6 mld-proxy groups
Mode: Privileged EXEC\User EXEC
Interface: The interface number of the MLD-Proxy.
Group Address: The IP address of the multicast group.
Last Reporter: The IP address of the host that last sent a membership report for the current group, on the network attached to the MLD-Proxy interface (upstream interface).
Up Time (in secs): The time elapsed in seconds since last created.
Member State: Possible values are:
Idle_Member. The interface has responded to the latest group membership query for this group.
Delay_Member. The interface is going to send a group membership report to respond to a group membership query for this group.
Filter Mode: Possible values are Include or Exclude.
Sources: The number of sources attached to the multicast group.
show ipv6 mld-proxy groups detail
