Configuring a IPv6 multicast route
50
NOTE
Regardless of the administrative distances, the switch always prefers directly connected routes over
other routes.
The ipv6 mroute command is used to direct multicast traffic along a specific path. The ipv6 mroute
command starts with the ipv6 address or ingress ipv6 address the source traffic is received upon.
The ingress interface network mask, and the next hop address leading back to the ingress source
ipv6 address.
To configure static IPv6 multicast routes, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# ipv6 mroute 12.7.1.0 255.255.255.0 17.3.1.2
Syntax: [no] ipv6 mroute <ip-addr> <ip-mask> [ <next-hop-ip-addr> | ethernet <slot/port> | ve
<num> | null0] [ <cost> ] [distance < num> ]
The ip-addr and ip-mask parameters specifies the PIM source for the route.
The ethernet <slot/port> parameter specifies a physical port.
The ve <num> parameter specifies a virtual interface.
The null0 parameter is the same as dropping the traffic.
The distance <num> parameter sets the administrative distance for the route.
The <cost> parameter specifies the cost metric of the route. Possible values are: 1 - 6 Default
value: 1.
Regardless of the administrative distances, the BigIron RX Series router always prefers directly
connected routes over other routes.
