Setting the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups on a port
You can set the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups on a port to regulate the port traffic.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you set the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups on a port, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
This configuration takes effect only on the IPv6 multicast groups that the port joins dynamically.
If the number of IPv6 multicast groups on a port exceeds the limit, the system removes all the forwarding entries related to that port. In this case, the receiver hosts attached to that port can join IPv6 multicast groups again before the number of IPv6 multicast groups on the port reaches the limit.
Configuration procedure
To set the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups on a port:
Step | Command | Remarks |
