Modifying the Source Timeout
The default source timeout (i.e., expiry time of IPv6 multicast sources) is 30 seconds. The following
subsections describe how to configure a user-specified source timeout value and restore it by using the
ipv6 multicast source-timeout command.
Configuring the Source Timeout
You can modify the source timeout from 1 to 65535 seconds by entering ipv6 multicast source-timeout
followed by the new value. For example, to set the source timeout to 360 seconds on the system if no
VLAN or SPB service is specified, you would enter:
-> ipv6 multicast source-timeout 60
You can also modify the source timeout on the specified VLAN or SPB service by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast vlan 2 source-timeout 60
-> ipv6 multicast service 10 source-timeout 60
Restoring the Source Timeout
To restore the source timeout to its default value on the system if no VLAN or SPB service is specified,
use the ipv6 multicast source-timeout command by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast source-timeout 0
Or, as an alternative, enter the following command to restore the source timeout to its default value:
-> no ipv6 multicast source-timeout
You can also restore the source timeout on the specified VLAN or SPB service by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast vlan 2 source-timeout 0
-> ipv6 multicast service 10 source-timeout 0
Or, as an alternative, enter the following command to restore the source timeout to its default value:
-> no ipv6 multicast vlan 2 source-timeout
-> no ipv6 multicast service 10 source-timeout
Enabling and Disabling the MLD Querying
By default MLD querying is disabled.The following subsections describe how to enable and disable MLD
querying by using the ipv6 multicast querying command.
Enabling the MLD Querying
You can enable the MLD querying by entering ipv6 multicast querying followed by the enable keyword.
For example, to enable the MLD querying you would enter:
-> ipv6 multicast querying enable
You can also enable the MLD querying on the specified VLAN by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast vlan 2 querying enable
