Configuring an IPv6 multicast group policy
This feature enables the switch to filter MLD reports based on the used ACL that specifies IPv6 multicast groups and the optional sources. It is used to control the IPv6 multicast groups that receiver hosts can join.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure an IPv6 multicast group policy, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
This configuration takes effect only on the IPv6 multicast groups that the port joins dynamically.
You can configure an IPv6 multicast group policy globally for all ports in MLD-snooping view or for a port in interface view. For a port, the port-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration.
Configuring an IPv6 multicast group policy globally
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter MLD-snooping view. | mld-snooping | N/A |
3. Configure an IPv6 multicast group policy globally. | group-policy acl6-number [ vlan vlan-list ] | By default, IPv6 multicast group policies are not globally configured. |
Configuring an IPv6 multicast group policy on a port
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view or Layer 2 aggregate interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Configure an IPv6 multicast group policy on the port. | mld-snooping group-policy acl6-number [ vlan vlan-list ] | By default, IPv6 multicast group policies are not configured on the port. |
