Configuration prerequisites, Enabling MLD SSM mapping, Configuring MLD proxying

Page 285 highlights

Configuration prerequisites Before you configure the MLD SSM mapping feature, complete the following tasks: • Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain can be interoperable at the network layer. • Configure basic MLD functions. Enabling MLD SSM mapping Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter interface view. 3. Enable the MLD SSM mapping feature. Command system-view interface interface-type interface-number mld ssm-mapping enable Remarks N/A N/A Disabled by default NOTE: To ensure SSM service for all hosts on a subnet, regardless of the MLD version running on the hosts, enable MLDv2 on the interface that forwards IPv6 multicast traffic onto the subnet. Configuring MLD SSM mappings By performing this configuration multiple times, you can map an IPv6 multicast group to different IPv6 multicast sources. If MLDv2 is enabled on a VLAN interface of a switch, and if a port in that VLAN is configured as a simulated host, the simulated host will send MLDv2 reports even if you did not specify an IPv6 multicast source when you configure simulated joining with the mld-snooping host-join command. In this case, the corresponding IPv6 multicast group will not be created based on the configured MLD SSM mappings. For more information about the mld-snooping host-join command, see IP Multicast Command Reference. To configure an MLD SSM mapping: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter MLD view. 3. Configure an MLD SSM mapping. Command system-view mld ssm-mapping ipv6-group-address prefix-length ipv6-source-address Remarks N/A N/A No MLD mappings are configured by default. Configuring MLD proxying Before you configure the MLD proxying feature, complete the following tasks: • Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the network layer. • Enable IPv6 multicast routing. 274

Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure the MLD SSM mapping feature, complete the following tasks:
Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
domain can be interoperable at the network layer.
Configure basic MLD functions.
Enabling MLD SSM mapping
Step
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.

2.
Enter interface view.

N/A
3.
Enable the MLD SSM
mapping feature.
mld ssm-mapping enable
Disabled by default
NOTE:
To ensure SSM service for all hosts on a subnet, regardless of the MLD version running on the hosts, enable
MLDv2 on the interface that forwards IPv6 multicast traffic onto the subnet.
Configuring MLD SSM mappings
By performing this configuration multiple times, you can map an IPv6 multicast group to different IPv6
multicast sources.
If MLDv2 is enabled on a VLAN interface of a switch, and if a port in that VLAN is configured as a
simulated host, the simulated host will send MLDv2 reports even if you did not specify an IPv6 multicast
source when you configure simulated joining with the
mld-snooping host-join
command. In this case, the
corresponding IPv6 multicast group will not be created based on the configured MLD SSM mappings.
For more information about the
mld-snooping host-join
command, see
IP Multicast Command Reference
.
