Configure the switch as a querier

Hosts that do not support unsolicited reporting wait for a general query before sending a membership report. When the multicast source and receivers are in the same VLAN, multicast traffic is not routed, and so there is no querier. You must configure the switch to be the querier for a VLAN so that hosts send membership reports, and the switch can generate a forwarding table by snooping.

To configure the switch as a querier for a layer 2 VLAN, use the following command:
INTERFACE VLAN Mode
ipv6 mld snooping querier
NOTE You must configure an IP address for the VLAN.

The source address of the queries is 0 to distinguish these queries from the router queries. If the system receives a query with a non-zero address any VLAN interface, it stops sending queries. When a VLAN configured with snooping querier comes up, the VLAN interface waits for the querier timeout to expire before becoming a querier.
