If you have configured both a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast VLAN and a port-based IPv6
multicast VLAN on a device, the port-based IPv6 multicast VLAN configuration is given preference.
Configuring a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast
VLAN
This section describes how to configure a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast VLAN.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast VLAN, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable IPv6 forwarding.
•
Create VLANs as required.
•
Enable MLD snooping in the VLAN to be configured as an IPv6 multicast VLAN.
Configuration guidelines
•
IPv6 multicast VLAN cannot be configured on a device with IP multicast routing enabled.
•
The VLAN to be configured as an IPv6 multicast VLAN must exist.
•
The VLANs to be configured as the sub-VLANs of the IPv6 multicast VLAN must exist and must
not be IPv6 multicast VLANs or sub-VLANs of any other IPv6 multicast VLAN.
•
The total number of sub-VLANs of an IPv6 multicast VLAN must not exceed the maximum
number the system can support. This maximum number varies with the device models.
Configuration procedure
In this approach, you configure a VLAN as an IPv6 multicast VLAN, and configure user VLANs as
sub-VLANs of the IPv6 multicast VLAN.
To configure a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast VLAN:
