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.
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 <multicast-group-address> [ethernet <port-number> [ethernet
<port-number> | to <port-number>]* ]
Enter the IPv6 multicast group address for the <multicast-group-address>.
Enter number of the port that will be included in this static group for the ethernet <port-number>
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.
