l2-multicast ipv6 static-group (VSI view)

Function

The l2-multicast ipv6 static-group command configures static member interfaces for a multicast group.

The undo l2-multicast ipv6 static-group command cancels the configuration.

By default, no static member interfaces are configured for a multicast group.

Format

l2-multicast ipv6 static-group [ source-address source-address ] group-address group-address remote-peer ip-address [ negotiation-vc-id vc-id ]

undo l2-multicast ipv6 static-group [ source-address source-address ] group-address { group-address | all } remote-peer ip-address [ negotiation-vc-id vc-id ]

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
source-address source-address

Specifies a multicast source address.

The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format of X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X.

group-address group-address

Specifies a multicast group address.

The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format of X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X. The value ranges from FF00:: to FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF.

remote-peer ip-address

Specifies a remote peer IP address.

The value is a 32-digit hexadecimal number, in the format of X:X:X:X:X:X:X:X.

negotiation-vc-id vc-id

negotiation-vc-id vc-id and remote-peer ip-address work together to identify a PW. By default, vc-id is the VSI ID.

The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 4294967295.

all

Indicates multicast group addresses of all VSIs.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If hosts need to regularly receive the data of a multicast group (including source-specific group) on an interface, run the l2-multicast ipv6 static-group command to configure the interface as a static member interface of the multicast group.

Static member interfaces can be configured on different positions on a network to enable users to receive data for multicast groups regularly.

Prerequisites

MLD snooping has been enabled globally and in the VSI view.

Configuration Impact

A static member interface does not respond to MLD Query messages. After the undo l2-multicast ipv6 static-group command is run on a static member interface, the interface does not initiate MLD Done messages any more.

If the l2-multicast ipv6 static-group command is run more than once, all configurations take effect.

Precautions

If the number of (S, G) entries of a group has reached the maximum value (128), no static entry will be created after the l2-multicast ipv6 static-group command is run. No entry containing this group address will be generated even after the reset mld-snooping group all command is run in the system view to refresh entries.

Example

# In VSI vsi0, specify the outbound interface of the remote peer as a static multicast group member interface and statically join multicast group FF33::1.
