Disabling Zero-based MLD Query
You can disable the use of a zero-based MLD query on the system by entering ipv6 multicast zero-
based-query followed by the disable keyword. For example:
-> ipv6 multicast zero-based-query disable
You can also disable the use of a zero-based MLD query on the specified VLAN or SPB service by
entering:
-> ipv6 multicast vlan 2 zero-based-query disable
-> ipv6 multicast service 10 zero-based-query disable
Modifying the MLD Router Timeout
The default MLD router timeout (i.e., expiry time of IPv6 multicast routers) is 90 seconds. The following
subsections describe how to configure a user-specified router timeout value and restore it by using the
ipv6 multicast router-timeout command.
Configuring the MLD Router Timeout
You can modify the MLD router timeout from 1 to 65535 seconds by entering ipv6 multicast router-
timeout followed by the new value. For example, to set the MLD router timeout to 360 seconds on the
system if no VLAN or SPB service is specified, you would enter:
-> ipv6 multicast router-timeout 360
You can also modify the MLD router timeout on the specified VLAN or SPB service by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast vlan 2 router-timeout 360
-> ipv6 multicast service 10 router-timeout 360
Restoring the MLD Router Timeout
To restore the MLD router timeout to its default value on the system if no VLAN or SPB service is
specified, use the ipv6 multicast router-timeout command by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast router-timeout 0
Or, as an alternative, enter the following command to restore the MLD router timeout to its default value:
-> no ipv6 multicast router-timeout
You can also restore the MLD router timeout on the specified VLAN or SPB service by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast vlan 2 router-timeout 0
-> ipv6 multicast service 10 router-timeout 0
Or, as an alternative, enter the following command to restore the MLD router timeout to its default value:
-> no ipv6 multicast vlan 2 router-timeout
-> no ipv6 multicast service 10 router-timeout
