IPv6 Multicast Guidelines and Restrictions
These guidelines and restrictions apply to IPv6 multicast support on Cisco 7600 series routers:
•
With Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases, the PFC3 and DFC3 provide hardware support for the
following:
–
Completely switched IPv6 multicast flows
–
IPv6 PIM-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) (S,G) forwarding
–
Multicast RPF check for IPv6 PIM-SM (S,G) traffic using the NetFlow table
–
Rate limiting of IPv6 PIM-SM (S,G) traffic that fails the multicast RPF check
–
Static IPv6 multicast routes
–
SSM Mapping for IPv6 (PIM-SSM)
–
IPv6 multicast forwarding information base (MFIB) using the NetFlow table
–
IPv6 distributed MFIB (dMFIB) using the NetFlow table
–
Link-local and link-global IPv6 multicast scopes
–
Egress multicast replication with the
ipv6 mfib hardware-switching
command
–
Ingress interface statistics for multicast routes (egress interface statistics not available)
–
RPR and RPR+ redundancy mode (see
Chapter 8, “Configuring RPR and RPR+
Supervisor Engine Redundancy”
)
–
Ingress and egress PFC QoS (see
Chapter 41, “Configuring PFC QoS”
)
–
Input and output Cisco access-control lists (ACLs)
