When you configure a multicast group filter in an IPv6 multicast VLAN, be sure to configure the filter in
the sub-VLANs of the IPv6 multicast VLAN. Otherwise, the configuration does not take effect.
Configuring an IPv6 multicast group globally
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

N/A
2.
Enter MLD-snooping view.
mld-snooping
N/A
3.
Configure an IPv6 multicast
group filter.
group-policy
acl6-number
[
vlan
vlan-list
]
By default, no IPv6 group filter is
globally configured. That is, the
hosts in a VLAN can join any valid
multicast group.

2.
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view, Layer 2
aggregate interface view,
or port group view.
•

interface view or Layer 2
aggregate interface view:

3.
Configure an IPv6 multicast
group filter.
mld-snooping group-policy

By default, no IPv6 group filter is
configured on an interface. That is, the
hosts on the interface can join any
valid multicast group.
Enabling dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data
Unknown IPv6 multicast data refers to IPv6 multicast data for which no entries exist in the MLD snooping
forwarding table. When the switch receives such IPv6 multicast traffic, one of the following occurs:
•
When the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data is disabled, the switch floods unknown
IPv6 multicast data in the VLAN to which the unknown IPv6 multicast data belongs.
•
When the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data is enabled, the switch forwards
unknown multicast data to its router ports instead of flooding it in the VLAN. If no router ports exist,
the switch drops the unknown multicast data.
