Configuring aging timers for dynamic ports

If the switch receives no MLD general queries or IPv6 PIM hello messages on a dynamic router port, the switch removes the port from the router port list when the aging timer of the port expires.

If the switch receives no MLD reports for an IPv6 multicast group on a dynamic member port, the switch removes the port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for that IPv6 multicast group when the port aging timer expires.

If IPv6 multicast group memberships change frequently, set a relatively small value for the dynamic member port aging timer.
