If the number of existing MLD snooping forwarding entries is larger than the upper limit that you set,
the device gives a prompt asking you to manually remove the excessive entries. In this case, the
device does not automatically remove any existing entries or create any new entries.
To set the maximum number of MLD snooping forwarding entries:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter MLD-snooping view.
mld-snooping
N/A
3.
Set the maximum number of
MLD snooping forwarding
entries.
entry-limit
limit
By default, the upper limit is 4000
for the HPE 5800 switches, and
1000 for the HPE 5820X switches.
NOTE:
MLD snooping forwarding entries created for multicast VLAN are not limited by this command. You
can use the
multicast-vlan ipv6 entry-limit
to limit the number of entries in the MLD snooping
forwarding table of a multicast VLAN. For more information, see "

Configuring IPv6 static multicast MAC address entries
In Layer-2 multicast, a Layer-2 IPv6 multicast protocol (such as MLD snooping) can dynamically add
IPv6 multicast MAC address entries. Or, you can manually configure IPv6 multicast MAC address
entries.
Configuration guidelines
•
You can configure an IPv6 static multicast MAC address entry for any legal multicast MAC
address. A multicast MAC address is a MAC address in which the least significant bit of the the
most significant octet is 1.
•
When you configure a static multicast MAC address entry in system view, the configuration is
effective on the specified interfaces. When you configure a static multicast MAC address entry
in interface view or port group view, the configuration is effective only on the current interface or
all interfaces in the current port group.
