ports in a VLAN. The list is constructed and maintained by snooping IPv6 multicast control packets. 
MLD snooping performs a similar function in IPv6 as IGMP snooping in IPv4. 
The Multicast module is mainly for multicast management configuration of the switch, including 
three submenus: IGMP SnoopingMLD Snooping and Multicast Table.   
9.1  IGMP Snooping 
 
IGMP Snooping Process 
The switch, running IGMP Snooping, listens to the IGMP messages transmitted between the host 
and the router, and tracks the IGMP messages and the registered port. When receiving IGMP 
report message, the switch adds the port to the multicast address table; when the switch listens to 
IGMP leave message from the host, the router sends the Group-Specific Query message of the 
port to check if other hosts need this multicast, if yes, the router will receive IGMP report message; 
if no, the router will receive no response from the hosts and the switch will remove the port from 
the multicast address table. The router regularly sends IGMP query messages. After receiving the 
IGMP query messages, the switch will remove the port from the multicast address table if the 
switch receives no IGMP report message from the host within a period of time. 
 
IGMP Messages 
The switch, running IGMP Snooping, processes the IGMP messages of different types as follows. 
1.  IGMP Query Message 
IGMP query message, sent by the router, falls into two types, IGMP general query message and 
IGMP group-specific-query message. The router regularly sends IGMP general message to query 
if the multicast groups contain any member. When receiving IGMP leave message, the receiving 
port of the router will send IGMP group-specific-query message to the multicast group and the 
switch will forward IGMP group-specific-query message to check if other members in the multicast 
group of the port need this multicast.   
When receiving IGMP general query message, the switch will forward them to all other ports in the 
VLAN owning the receiving port. The receiving port will be processed: if the receiving port is not a 
router port yet, it will be added to the router port list with its router port time specified; if the 
receiving port is already a router port, its router port time will be directly reset. 
When receiving IGMP group-specific-query message, the switch will send the group-specific query 
message to the members of the multicast group being queried. 
2.  IGMP Report Message 
IGMP report message is sent by the host when it applies for joining a multicast group or responses 
to the IGMP query message from the router.   
When receiving IGMP report message, the switch will send the report message via the router port 
in the VLAN as well as analyze the message to get the address of the multicast group the host 
applies for joining. The receiving port will be processed: if the receiving port is a new member port, 
it will be added to the multicast address table with its member port time specified; if the receiving 
port is already a member port, its member port time will be directly reset. 
3.  IGMP Leave Message 
The host, running IGMPv1, does not send IGMP leave message when leaving a multicast group, 
as a result, the switch can not get the leave information of the host momentarily. However, after 
leaving the multicast group, the host does not send IGMP report message any more, so the switch 
will remove the port from the corresponding multicast address table when its member port time 
times out. The host, running IGMPv2 or IGMPv3, sends IGMP leave message when leaving a 
multicast group to inform the multicast router of its leaving.
