Configuring static joining
After you configure an interface as a static member of an IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast
source and group, the interface will act as a virtual member of the IPv6 multicast group to receive IPv6
multicast data addressed to that IPv6 multicast group for the purpose of testing IPv6 multicast data
forwarding.
Follow these steps to configure a static member of an IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source
and group:

Required
By default, an interface is not a
static member of any IPv6
multicast group or IPv6 multicast
source and group.
NOTE:
Before you configure an interface of an IPv6 PIM-SM device as a static member of an IPv6 multicast
group or an IPv6 multicast source and group, if the interface is IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, it must be an
IPv6 PIM-SM DR. If this interface is MLD enabled but not IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, it must be an MLD
querier. For more information about IPv6 PIM-SM and a DR, see the chapter “IPv6 PIM
configuration.”
As a static member of an IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source and group, an interface
does not respond to the queries from the MLD querier. Nor does it send an unsolicited MLD
membership report or an MLD done message when it joins or leaves an IPv6 multicast group or an
IPv6 source and group. In other words, the interface will not become a real member of the IPv6
multicast group or the IPv6 multicast and source group.
Configuring an ipv6 multicast group filter
To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain IPv6 multicast groups,
set an IPv6 ACL rule on the interface so that the interface maintains only the IPv6 multicast groups
matching the criteria.
Follow these steps to configure an IPv6 multicast group filter:
To do…
Use the command…
