To address this situation, enable the IPv6 multicast group replacement function on the switch or a certain
port. When the number of IPv6 multicast groups that a switch or a port has joined exceeds the limit, one
of the following occurs:
•
If the IPv6 multicast group replacement is not enabled, new MLD reports will be automatically
discarded.
•
If the IPv6 multicast group replacement is enabled, the IPv6 multicast group that the switch or a port
newly joins automatically replaces an existing IPv6 multicast group that has the lowest IPv6
address.

CAUTION:
Be sure to configure the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups allowed on a port before enabling
IPv6 multicast group replacement. Otherwise, the IPv6 multicast group replacement functionality will not
take effect. For more information about the maximum number of IPv6 groups that a port can join, see

You can change 802.1p precedence of MLD messages so that they can be assigned higher forwarding
priority when congestion occurs on their outgoing ports.
