NOTE:
•
For more information about the
mac-address multicast
command, see the
IP Multicast
Command Reference.
•
When configuring a static multicast MAC address entry in system view, the configuration is
effective for the specified interface. When configuring a static multicast MAC address entry in
interface view or port group view, the configuration is effective only for the current interface or
interfaces in the current port group.
•
Any legal IPv6 multicast MAC address except 3333-xxxx-xxxx—where x represents a
hexadecimal number from 0 to F—can be manually added to the MAC address table. A multicast
MAC address is a MAC address whose the least significant bit of the most significant octet is 1.
Configuring MLD snooping port functions
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure MLD snooping port functions, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable MLD snooping in the VLAN
•
Configure the corresponding port groups
•
Determine the aging time of dynamic router ports
•
Determine the aging timer of dynamic member ports
•
Determine the IPv6 multicast group and IPv6 multicast source addresses
Configuring aging timers for dynamic ports
If the switch receives no MLD general queries or IPv6 PIM hello messages on a dynamic router port,
the switch removes the port from the router port list when the aging timer of the port expires.
If the switch receives no MLD reports for an IPv6 multicast group on a dynamic member port, the
switch removes the port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for that IPv6 multicast
group when the port aging timer expires.
If IPv6 multicast group memberships change frequently, set a relatively small value for the dynamic
member port aging timer.
