ipv6 multicast boundary

Use ipv6 multicast boundary to configure an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary.

Use undo ipv6 multicast boundary to delete an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary.

Syntax

ipv6 multicast boundary { ipv6-group-address prefix-length | scope { scope-id | admin-local | global | organization-local | site-local } }

undo ipv6 multicast boundary { ipv6-group-address prefix-length| all | scope { scope-id | admin-local | global | organization-local | site-local } }

Default

An interface is not an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary.

Parameters

ipv6-group-address: Specifies an IPv6 multicast group address in the range of FFxy::/16, where "x" and "y" represent any hexadecimal numbers in the range of 0 to F.

prefix-length: Specifies the address prefix length in the range of 8 to 128.

all: Specifies all IPv6 multicast boundaries configured on the interface.

scope-id: Specifies the ID of an admin-scoped zone, in the range of 3 to 15, which is identified by the scope field in the IPv6 multicast group address.

admin-local: Specifies the scoped zone as admin-local, which has a scope ID of 4.

global: Specifies the scoped zone as global, which has a scope ID of 14.

organization-local: Specifies the scoped zone as organization-local, which has a scope ID of 8.

site-local: Specifies the scoped zone as site-local, which has a scope ID of 5.

Usage guidelines

A multicast forwarding boundary sets the boundary condition for the IPv6 multicast groups in the specified address range. If the destination address of an IPv6 multicast packet matches the set boundary condition, the packet is not forwarded.

An interface can act as a forwarding boundary for multiple IPv6 multicast groups in different address ranges. You can implement this by using this command on the interface for each multicast address range. These multicast groups must be in the same scope. The latest configuration of a scope overwrites the previous one.

You do not need to enable IPv6 multicast routing before you execute this command.

Assume that Set A and Set B are both IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary sets with different address ranges, and that B is a subset of A. A takes effect on the interface no matter whether A is configured earlier or later than B.

Examples

# Configure VLAN-interface 100 as the forwarding boundary of IPv6 multicast groups in the range of FF03::/16.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 100
[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] ipv6 multicast boundary ff03:: 16

# Configure VLAN-interface 100 as the forwarding boundary of IPv6 multicast groups in the admin-local scope.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 100
[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] ipv6 multicast boundary scope 4
