Multicast Listener Discovery and source specific multicast protocols(MLDv2) 49 Setting the robustness You can specify the number of times that the switch sends each MLD message from this interface. Use a higher value to ensure high reliability from MLD. You can set the robustness by entering a command such as the following. BigIron RX(config)#ipv6 mld robustness 3 Syntax: ipv6 mld robustness Specify 2 - 7 for . Default is 2 Setting the version You can use this command to set the MLD version (1 or 2) globally. You can select the version of MLD by entering a command such as the following. BigIron RX(config)#ipv6 mld version 2 Syntax: ipv6 mld version Enter 1or 2 for Default version 2 Specifying a port version At the interface level, you can specify the MLD version for a physical port within a virtual interface. You can set the version by entering a command such as the following at the interface level. BigIron RX(config-vif-401)#ipv6 mld port-ver 1 eth 3/1 Syntax: mld port-ver Specify 1 or 2 for . Specifying a static group A multicast group is usually learned when an MLDv1 report is received. You can configure static group membership without having to receive an MLDv1 report by entering a command such as the following at the interface level. BigIron RX(config-vif-401))#ipv6 mld static-group ffe0::4c8 eth 3/1 To configure a Static Group on a physical interface, enter a command such as the following: BigIron RX (config-if-e1000-5/23)#ipv6 mld static ff01::6f Syntax: ipv6 mld static-group [ethernet [ethernet | to ]* ] Enter the IPv6 multicast group address for the . Enter number of the port that will be included in this static group for the ethernet parameter. The asterisk (*) in the syntax above means that you can enter as many port numbers as you want to include in the static group. For a virtual routing interface (ve), specify the physical Ethernet ports on which to add the group address. BigIron RX Series Configuration Guide 53-1001810-01 1261

Multicast Listener Discovery and source specific multicast protocols(MLDv2)

Setting the robustness

You can specify the number of times that the switch sends each MLD message from this interface.

Use a higher value to ensure high reliability from MLD. You can set the robustness by entering a

command such as the following.

BigIron RX(config)#ipv6 mld robustness 3

Syntax:

ipv6 mld robustness<

seconds

Specify 2 – 7 for <

seconds

>. Default is 2

Setting the version

You can use this command to set the MLD version (1 or 2) globally. You can select the version of

MLD by entering a command such as the following.

BigIron RX(config)#ipv6 mld version 2

Syntax:

ipv6 mld version <

version-number

Enter 1or 2 for <

version-number

> Default version 2

Specifying a port version

At the interface level, you can specify the MLD version for a physical port within a virtual interface.

You can set the version by entering a command such as the following at the interface level.

BigIron RX(config-vif-401)#ipv6 mld port-ver 1 eth 3/1

Syntax:

mld port-ver

<version-number

Specify 1 or 2 for <

version-number

Specifying a static group

A multicast group is usually learned when an MLDv1 report is received. You can configure static

group membership without having to receive an MLDv1 report by entering a command such as the

following at the interface level.
