Configuring IPv6 static multicast MAC address entries
In Layer-2 multicast, a Layer-2 IPv6 multicast protocol (such as MLD snooping) can dynamically add IPv6
multicast MAC address entries. Or, you can manually configure IPv6 multicast MAC address entries.
Configuration guidelines
•
The configuration that you make in system view is effective on the specified interfaces. The
configuration that you make in interface view or port group view is effective only on the current
interface or interfaces in the current port group.
•
Any legal IPv6 multicast MAC address except 3333-xxxx-xxxx (where x represents a hexadecimal
number from 0 to F) can be manually added to the MAC address table. IPv6 multicast MAC
addresses are the MAC addresses whose the least significant bit of the most significant octet is 1.
Configuration procedure
To configure an IPv6 static multicast MAC address entry in system view:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Configure a static multicast
MAC address entry.
mac-address multicast
mac-address
interface
interface-list
vlan
vlan-id
No static multicast MAC address
entries exist by default.
To configure an IPv6 static multicast MAC address entry in interface view:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view, Layer 2
aggregate interface view, or
port group view.
•
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface
view or Layer 2 aggregate
interface view:
interface
interface-type
interface-number
•
Enter port group view:
port-group
manual
port-group-name
In Ethernet interface view or Layer
2 aggregate interface view, the
configuration is effective on only
the current interface. In port group
view, the configuration is effective
on all ports in the port group.
3.
Configure a static multicast
MAC address entry.
mac-address multicast
mac-address
vlan
vlan-id
No static multicast MAC address
entries exist by default.
Configuring MLD snooping port functions
Before you configure MLD snooping port functions, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable MLD snooping in the VLAN.
•
Configure the corresponding port groups.
•
Determine the aging time of dynamic router ports.
•
Determine the aging time of dynamic member ports.
•
Determine the IPv6 multicast group and IPv6 multicast source addresses.
