Configuring IPv6 MLD Snooping
Topology Change Notification Processing
When topology change notification (TCN) solicitation is enabled by using the ipv6 mld snooping tcn
query solicit global configuration command, MLDv1 snooping sets the VLAN to flood all IPv6
multicast traffic with a configured number of MLDv1 queries before it begins sending multicast data
only to selected ports. You set this value by using the ipv6 mld snooping tcn flood query count global
configuration command. The default is to send two queries. The switch also generates MLDv1 global
Done messages with valid link-local IPv6 source addresses when the switch becomes the STP root in the
VLAN or when it is configured by the user. This is same as done in IGMP snooping.
