Configuring an IPv6 multicast source policy

About IPv6 multicast source policies

This feature enables the device to filter IPv6 multicast data by using an ACL that specifies the IPv6 multicast sources and the optional groups. It filters not only IPv6 multicast data packets but also IPv6 PIM register messages with IPv6 multicast data encapsulated. This also reduces the IPv6 multicast traffic on the network.

Procedure

  1. Enter system view.

    system-view

  2. Enter IPv6 PIM view.

    ipv6 pim [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

  3. Configure an IPv6 multicast source policy.

    source-policy ipv6-acl-number

    By default, no IPv6 multicast source policy is configured. The device does not filter IPv6 multicast data packets.
