Configuring basic MLD functions
This section describes how to configure basic MLD functions.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure basic MLD functions, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
domain can be interoperable at the network layer.
•
Configure IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SM.
•
Determine the MLD version.
•
Determine the IPv6 multicast group address and IPv6 multicast source address for static group
member configuration.
•
Determine the ACL rule for IPv6 multicast group filtering.
•
Determine the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups that an interface can join.
Enabling MLD
Enable MLD on the interface on which IPv6 multicast group memberships will be created and
maintained.
