Configuring an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary
Instead of traveling infinitely in a network, the IPv6 multicast data of each IPv6 multicast group travels
within a definite scope. A multicast forwarding boundary sets the boundary condition for the IPv6
multicast groups in the specified range. If the destination address of an IPv6 multicast packet matches the
set boundary condition, the packet is not forwarded. If an interface is configured as a multicast boundary,
it can no longer forward IPv6 multicast packets (including those sent from the local device) nor receive
IPv6 multicast packets.
TIP:
You do not need to enable IPv6 multicast routing before this configuration.
To configure an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary:

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Configure an IPv6 multicast
forwarding boundary.
ipv6 multicast boundary
{ ipv6-group-address prefix-length
| scope { scope-id | admin-local |
global | organization-local |
site-local } }
By default, no forwarding
boundary is configured.
Configuring IPv6 static multicast MAC address entries
In Layer-2 multicast, a Layer-2 IPv6 multicast protocol (such as MLD snooping) can dynamically add IPv6
multicast MAC address entries. Or, you can manually configure IPv6 multicast MAC address entries.
TIP:
• You do not need to enable IPv6 multicast routing before this configuration.
• The IPv6 multicast MAC address that can be configured in a MAC address entry must be unused. A
multicast MAC address is the MAC address in which the least si
g
nificant bit of the most si
g
nificant octe
t
is 1.
You can configure IPv6 static multicast MAC address entries on the specified interface in system view, or
on the current interface in interface view.
To configure an IPv6 static multicast MAC address entry in system view:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Configure a static multicast
MAC address entry.
mac-address multicast
mac-address interface interface-list
vlan vlan-id
By default, no static multicast MAC
address entries exist.
