DHCP snooping for IPV6?

Hi all.  If I implement DHCP snooping on a L2 switch (Catalyst 2950 for example), will this block an IPV6 DHCP server connected to a non-trusted port?

No,  you have to configure the device for IPv6 snooping

Here is more info on configuring IPv6 snooping

Hi Reza.  Are you saying that MLDv2 snooping blocks IPV6 router advertisements (RAs) that are a response to the router solicitation multicast request?  The text of the link seems to imply that the feature blocks IPv6 multicast to those ports that want to receive it - not blocking the erroneous RA sender like I would expect DHCP snooping would do.  Have you implemented this feature and tested it?
