Configuring IPv6 multicast source port filtering, Enabling dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data

Page 116 highlights

Step Command 3. Configure an IPv6 multicast group filter for the port. mld-snooping group-policy acl6-number [ vlan vlan-list ] Remarks By default, no IPv6 multicast group filter is configured for the port. The hosts on this port can join any valid IPv6 multicast group. Configuring IPv6 multicast source port filtering When the IPv6 multicast source port filtering feature is enabled, the port can only connect to IPv6 multicast receivers rather than multicast sources. The port denies all IPv6 multicast data packets but it permits multicast protocol packets. If this feature is disabled, the port can connect to both multicast sources and IPv6 multicast receivers. You can enable multicast source port filtering either for the specified ports in MLD-snooping view or for the current port in interface view. The two configurations have the same configuration priority. Configuring IPv6 multicast source port filtering globally Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter MLD-snooping view. 3. Enable IPv6 multicast source port filtering. Command system-view mld-snooping source-deny port interface-list Remarks N/A N/A By default, the IPv6 multicast source port filtering is disabled. Configuring IPv6 multicast source port filtering on a port Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter Ethernet interface view. 3. Enable IPv6 multicast source port filtering. Command system-view interface interface-type interface-number mld-snooping source-deny Remarks N/A N/A By default, the IPv6 multicast source port filtering is disabled. Enabling dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data Unknown IPv6 multicast data refers to IPv6 multicast data for which no forwarding entries exist in the MLD snooping forwarding table. When the switch receives such multicast data on a port, one of the following occurs: • When the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data is disabled, the switch floods unknown IPv6 multicast data in the VLAN that the data belongs to, causing network bandwidth waste and low forwarding efficiency. • When the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data is enabled, the switch forwards unknown IPv6 multicast data to other router ports instead of flooding it in the VLAN. If no other router ports exist, the switch drops the unknown IPv6 multicast data. To enable dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data for a VLAN: 109

Enabling dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data
Unknown IPv6 multicast data refers to IPv6 multicast data for which no forwarding entries exist in the MLD
snooping forwarding table. When the switch receives such multicast data on a port, one of the following
occurs:
When the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data is disabled, the switch floods unknown
IPv6 multicast data in the VLAN that the data belongs to, causing network bandwidth waste and
low forwarding efficiency.
When the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data is enabled, the switch forwards
unknown IPv6 multicast data to other router ports instead of flooding it in the VLAN. If no other
router ports exist, the switch drops the unknown IPv6 multicast data.
To enable dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data for a VLAN:
