Command Usage
â—† MLD filtering enables you to assign a profile to a switch port that specifies
multicast groups that are permitted or denied on the port. An MLD filter profile
can contain one or more, or a range of multicast addresses; but only one profile
can be assigned to a port. When enabled, MLD join reports received on the port
are checked against the filter profile. If a requested multicast group is
permitted, the MLD join report is forwarded as normal. If a requested multicast
group is denied, the MLD join report is dropped.
â—† MLD filtering and throttling only applies to dynamically learned multicast
groups, it does not apply to statically configured groups.
â—† The MLD filtering feature operates in the same manner when MVR6 is used to
forward multicast traffic.
Example
Console(config)#ipv6 mld filter
