IPv6 multicast data is abnormally terminated on an intermediate device

Symptom

An intermediate device can receive IPv6 multicast data successfully, but the data cannot reach the last-hop device. An interface on the intermediate device receives IPv6 multicast data but does not create an (S, G) entry in the IPv6 PIM routing table.

Solution

To resolve the problem:

  1. Use display current-configuration to verify the IPv6 multicast forwarding boundary settings. Use ipv6 multicast boundary to change the multicast forwarding boundary settings to make the IPv6 multicast packet able to cross the boundary.

  2. Use display current-configuration to verify the IPv6 multicast source policy. Change the ACL rule defined in the source-policy command so that the source/group address of the IPv6 multicast data can pass ACL filtering.

  3. If the problem persists, contact Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support.
