Multicast VLAN Registration for IPv6
– 606 –
◆ All IPv6 addresses must be according to RFC 2373 “IPv6 Addressing
Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double
colon may be used in the address to indicate the appropriate number of zeros
required to fill the undefined fields. (Note that the IP address ff02::X is reserved.)
◆ The MVR6 group address range assigned to a profile cannot overlap with the
group address range of any other profile.
◆ MRV6 domains can be associated with more than one MVR6 profile. But since
MVR6 domains cannot share the group range, an MRV6 profile can only be
associated with one MVR6 domain.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Configure Profile
◆ Profile Name – The name of a profile containing one or more MVR6 group
addresses. (Range: 1-21 characters)
◆ Start IPv6 Address – Starting IP address for an MVR6 multicast group. This
parameter must be a full IPv6 address including the network prefix and host
address bits.
◆ End IPv6 Address – Ending IP address for an MVR6 multicast group. This
parameter must be a full IPv6 address including the network prefix and host
address bits.
Associate Profile
◆ Domain ID – An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
◆ Profile Name – The name of a profile to be assigned to this domain.
(Range: 1-21 characters)
