Configuring IPv6 multicast source port filtering
With the IPv6 multicast source port filtering feature enabled on a port, the port can be connected with
IPv6 multicast receivers only rather than with multicast sources, because the port will block all IPv6
multicast data packets but it will permit multicast protocol packets to pass.
If this feature is disabled on a port, the port can be connected with both multicast sources and IPv6
multicast receivers.

Configuring dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data
Unknown IPv6 multicast data
refers to IPv6 multicast data for which no entries exist in the MLD
snooping forwarding table. When the switch receives such IPv6 multicast traffic, it performs the
following operation:
•
With the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data enabled, the switch drops all
unknown IPv6 multicast data received.
•
With the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data disabled, the switch floods unknown
IPv6 multicast data in the VLAN to which the unknown IPv6 multicast data belongs.
Follow these steps to enable dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data in a VLAN:
To do...
Use the command...
