HP 6125XLG - Configuring an Interface as a Static Member Interface; Enabling MLD; Specifying the MLD Version

267
• Determine the IPv6 multicast group address and IPv6 multicast source address for static group
member configuration.
• Determine the ACL rule for IPv6 multicast group filtering.
Enabling MLD
Enable MLD on the interface on which IPv6 multicast group memberships are created and maintained.
To enable MLD:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enable IPv6 multicast
routing and enter IPv6 MRIB
view.
ipv6 multicast routing [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]
Disable by default.
3. Return to system view.
quit N/A
4. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type interface-number N/A
5. Enable MLD.
mld enable Disabled by default.
Specifying the MLD version
Because MLD message types and formats vary with MLD versions, configure the same MLD version for all
routers on the same subnet. Otherwise, MLD cannot operate correctly.
To specify an MLD version:

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Configure an MLD version on
the interface.
mld version version-number MLDv1 by default.
Configuring an interface as a static member interface
To test the IPv6 multicast data forwarding, you can configure an interface as a static member of an IPv6
multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source and group. The interface can receive IPv6 multicast data
addressed to that IPv6 multicast group.
Configuration guidelines
• A static member interface has the following restrictions:
{ If the interface is MLD and IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, it must be an IPv6 PIM-SM DR.
{ If the interface is MLD enabled but not IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, it must be an MLD querier.
For more information about IPv6 PIM-SM and DR, see "Configuring IPv6 PIM."
