As shown above, Ethernet 1/0/3 and Ethernet 1/0/4 of Switch A is listening to IPv6
multicast streams that the IPv6 multicast source 1::1 sends to the IPv6 multicast group
FF1E::1 (::, FF1E::101).
3.8.2 Static Router Port Configuration
I. Network requirements
z
As shown in
, Router A connects to an IPv6 multicast source (Source)
through Ethernet 1/0/2, and to Switch A through Ethernet 1/0/1.
z
MLD is to run between Router A and Switch A, and MLD Snooping is to run on
Switch A, Switch B and Switch C, with Router A acting as the MLD querier.
z
Suppose STP runs on the network. To avoid data loops, the forwarding path from
Switch A to Switch C is blocked under normal conditions, and IPv6 multicast traffic
flows to the receivers, Host A and Host C, attached to Switch C only along the path
of Switch A—Switch B—Switch C.
z
Now it is required to configure Ethernet 1/0/3 that connects Switch A to Switch C
as a static router port, so that IPv6 multicast traffic can flows to the receivers
nearly uninterruptedly along the path of Switch A—Switch C in the case that the
path of Switch A—Switch B—Switch C gets blocked.
