4.7 (Optional) Modifying Parameters of MLD Snooping

This section describes how to optimize the performance of MLD snooping by modifying MLD
snooping parameters, including the aging time of the router interface, interval for sending Last
Member Query messages, interval for sending the General Query messages, maximum response
time for MLD messages, MLD robustness variable, source IP address of the MLD message sent
to respond to changes of Layer 2 network topology, MLD version, duration for suppressing the
same Report messages, maximum number of MLD snooping entries, and whether the Router
Alert option is contained in MLD messages.
