Setting the maximum number of MLD snooping forwarding
entries
You can modify the maximum number of MLD snooping forwarding entries, including dynamic
entries and static entries. When the number of forwarding entries on the device reaches the upper
limit, the device does not automatically remove any existing entries. To allow new entries to be
created, remove some entries manually.
To set the maximum number of MLD snooping forwarding entries:

Configuring static IPv6 multicast MAC address entries
In Layer 2 IPv6 multicast, IPv6 multicast MAC address entries can be dynamically created through
Layer 2 multicast protocols (such as MLD snooping). You can also manually configure static IPv6
multicast MAC address entries by binding IPv6 multicast MAC addresses and ports to control the
destination ports of the IPv6 multicast data.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure a static IPv6 multicast MAC address entry, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
•
You do not need to enable IPv6 multicast routing before this configuration.
•
You must specify an unused IPv6 multicast MAC address when configuring a static IPv6
multicast MAC address entry. An IPv6 multicast MAC address is a MAC address in which the
least significant bit of the most significant octet is 1.
•
You can configure IPv6 static multicast MAC address entries on the specified interface in
system view, or on the current interface in interface view.
