Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Enable IPv6 Multicast on the S7700s.
2. Enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all the interfaces on S7700.
3. Enable MLD on the interface at the host side.
Data Preparation
To complete the configuration, you need the following data:
l MLD version running between the S7700s and the user hosts
Procedure
Step 1 Create VLANs and VLAN interfaces on the S7700s and assign IP addresses to the VLAN
interfaces. The configuration procedure is not provided here.
Step 2 Enable multicast on the S7700s and enable MLD and IPv6 PIM-DM on the interfaces connected
to user hosts.
# Enable multicast on SwitchA, enable MLD and IPv6 PIM-DM on VLANIF 100, and set the
MLD version to 2.
