Configuring the router to Send MLD Messages Without the Router-Alert Option

If some MLD interfaces on the same network need to receive MLD messages without the Router-Alert option, configure the router connected to the user network segment to send MLD messages without the Router-Alert option.

Context

By default, the router sends MLD messages with the Router-Alert option.

You can perform configurations either globally or on an interface.

  • The undo send-router-alert command configuration in the system view takes effect on all interfaces.

  • The undo send-router-alert command configuration in the view of an interface takes effect only on the interface. The interface-specific configuration takes precedence over the global configuration. If an interface-specific configuration is not available, the interface uses the global configuration.

Procedure

  • Global configuration:
    1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

    2. Run mld

      The MLD view is displayed.

    3. Run undo send-router-alert

      The router is configured to send MLD messages without the Router-Alert option.

    4. Run commit

      The configuration is committed.

  • Interface-specific configuration:
    1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

    2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

      The view of the interface connected to a user host or switch is displayed.

    3. Run undo mld send-router-alert

      The interface is configured to send MLD messages without the Router-Alert option.

    4. Run commit

      The configuration is committed.
