Multicast VLAN Registration for IPv6
– 664 –
COMMAND USAGE
◆ Use the Configure Profile page to statically configure all multicast group
addresses that will join the MVR6 VLAN. Any multicast data associated
with an MVR6 group is sent from all source ports to all receiver ports
that have registered to receive data from that multicast group.
◆ MLD snooping and MVR6 share a maximum number of 1024 groups.
Any multicast streams received in excess of this limitation will be
flooded to all ports in the associated domain.
◆ 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.

and host address bits.
