IPv6 Multicast Commands
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 supports only the Summit X450 family of switches and the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch.
ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1868
configure mld snooping vlan ports add static group
configure mld snooping {vlan} <vlanname> ports <portlist> add static
group <v6grpipaddress>
Description
Configures VLAN ports to receive the traffic from a multicast group, even if no MLD joins have been
received on the port.
Syntax Description
Default
None.
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to forward a particular multicast group to VLAN ports. In effect, this command
emulates a host on the port that has joined the multicast group. As long as the port is configured with
the static entry, multicast traffic for that multicast group will be forwarded to that port.
The switch sends proxy MLD messages in place of those generated by a real host. The proxy messages
use the VLAN IPv6 address for source address of the messages. If the VLAN has no IPv6 address
assigned, the proxy MLD message will use 0::0 as the source IP address.
NOTE
In the current implementation, multicast traffic is flooded to the VLAN.
Example
The following command configures a static MLD entry so the multicast group ff02::1:1 will be
forwarded to VLAN
marketing
on ports 2:1-2:4:
configure mld snooping marketing ports 2:1-2:4 add static group ff02::1:1
History
This command was first available in ExtremeWare XOS 11.2.
vlanname
Specifies a VLAN name.
portlist
Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. On a modular switch, it can be
a list of slots and ports. On a stand-alone switch, it can be one or more port
numbers. In the form 1, 2, 3-5, 2:5, 2:6-2:8.
v6grpipaddress
Specifies the multicast group IPv6 address.
