Configuring an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary

About IPv6 multicast forwarding boundaries

You can configure an interface as an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary for an IPv6 multicast group range. The interface cannot receive or forward IPv6 multicast packets for the groups in the range.

Restrictions and guidelines

You do not need to enable IPv6 multicast routing before this configuration.

Procedure

  1. Enter system view.

    system-view

  2. Enter interface view.

    interface interface-type interface-number

  3. Configure an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary.

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

    By default, an interface is not an IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary for any IPv6 multicast groups.
