14.5.3 Configuring the Maximum Number of Downstream Nodes
of a Single Forwarding Entry
A multicast device replicates a copy of multicast packets for each downstream interface. Then,
you can set the number of downstream interfaces of a single forwarding entry and adjust the
number of downstream interfaces according to the actual networking and service performance
to release the burden on the multicast device.
Context
By default, the maximum value permitted by the system is used.
Do as follows on the multicast switch:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
multicast ipv6 forwarding-table downstream-limit limit-value
The maximum number of downstream nodes of a single entry in the IPv6 multicast forwarding
table is set.
----End
14.5.4 Checking the Configuration
After control parameters for the multicast forwarding table are configured, you can check
information about the multicast routing table to ensure normal running of the multicast network.
Procedure
l Run the display multicast ipv6 forwarding-table [ ipv6-source-address [ ipv6-source-
mask-length ] | ipv6-group-address [ ipv6-group-mask-length ] | incoming-interface
{ interface-type interface-number | register } | outgoing-interface { { exclude | include |
match } { interface-type interface-number | register | none } } | statistics ]
*
command to
check the IPv6 multicast forwarding table.

14.6 Maintaining IPv6 Multicast Routing Management
Maintaining IPv6 multicast routing management involves clearing IPv6 multicast forwarding
and routing entries, and monitoring IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding.
