3.4.3 Configuring Static Ports
If all the hosts attached to a port is interested in the IPv6 multicast data addressed to a
particular IPv6 multicast group, you can configure that port as a static member port for
that IPv6 multicast group.
You can configure a port of a switch to be static router port, through which the switch
can forward all IPv6 multicast data it received.
Follow these steps to configure static ports:

Note:
z
The IPv6 static (S, G) joining function is available only if a valid IPv6 multicast
source address is specified and MLD Snooping version 2 is currently running on the
switch.
z
A static member port does not respond to queries from the MLD querier; when static
(*, G) or (S, G) joining is enabled or disabled on a port, the port does not send an
unsolicited MLD report or an MLD done message.
z
Static member ports and static router ports never age out. To remove such a port,
you need to use the corresponding command.
3.4.4 Configuring Simulated Joining
Generally, a host running MLD responds to MLD queries from the MLD querier. If a host
fails to respond due to some reasons, the multicast router will deem that no member of
this IPv6 multicast group exists on the network segment, and therefore will remove the
corresponding forwarding path.
