Setting the maximum number of IPv6 multicast
VLAN forwarding entries
You can set the maximum number of IPv6 multicast VLAN forwarding entries on the device. When
the upper limit is reached, the device does not create IPv6 multicast VLAN forwarding entries until
some entries age out or are manually removed.
If the total number of entries exceeds the upper limit value that you are setting, the system does not
automatically remove existing entries or create new entries. In this case, remove excessive entries
manually.
