Configuring and Removing an MLD Static Group
MLD static group ports receive MLD reports generated on the specified IPv6 Multicast group address.
The following subsections describe how to configure and remove an MLD static group by using the ipv6
multicast static-group command.
Configuring an MLD Static Group
To configure an MLD static group entry on a port, use the ipv6 multicast static-group command with the
port option. For example, the following command configures an MLD static group entry with an IPv6
address of ff05::5 on port 1/1/3 in VLAN 3:
-> ipv6 multicast static-group ff05::5 vlan 3 port 1/1/13
To configure an MLD static group entry on an SPB Service Access Point (SAP), use the ipv6 multicast
static-group command with the sap port option. For example, the following command configures an
MLD static group entry with IPv6 address ff05::5 on SAP port 1/1/23:10 that is bound to SPB service 10:
-> ipv6 multicast static-group ff05::5 service 10 sap port 1/1/23:10
In this example, 1/1/23:10 serves as a SAP ID, which is comprised of an access port number (1/1/23) and
an encapsulation value (10). SPB service 10 is mapped to SAP ID 1/1/23:10. Traffic received on access
port 1/1/23 that is tagged with VLAN 10 is encapsulated and then forwarded on service 10 through the
SPB network. Refer to Chapter 10, “Service Manager Commands,” for more information.
To create an MLD static group entry on a link aggregate, use the linkagg parameter. For example:
-> ipv6 multicast static-group ff05::5 vlan 2 linkagg 7
-> ipv6 multicast static-group ff05::5 service 10 sap linkagg 10:100
Removing an MLD Static Group
To remove an MLD static group entry from a port, use the no form of the ipv6 multicast static-group
command with the vlan and port parameters. For example, the following command removes the MLD
static group entry with an IPv6 address of ff05::5 on port 1/1/13:
-> no ipv6 multicast static-group ff05::5 vlan 3 port 1/1/13
To remove an MLD static group entry from a SAP port, use the no form of the ipv6 multicast static-
group command with the service and sap port parameters. For example, the following command removes
the MLD static group entry with an IPv6 address of ff05::5 on SAP port 1/1/23:
-> no ipv6 multicast static-group ff05::5 service 10 sap port 1/1/23
In the above example, 1/1/23:10 serves as a SAP ID in an SPB network. A SAP ID is comprised of an
access port number (1/1/23) and an encapsulation value (10). Traffic received on access port 1/1/23 that is
tagged with VLAN 10 is encapsulated and then forwarded on the SPB service that is associated with the
SAP. Refer to Chapter 10, “Service Manager Commands,” for more information.
