MVR for IPv6
23
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
When MVR6 is enabled on a domain, any multicast data associated with an MVR6 group is sent
from all designated source ports, to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data from that
multicast group.
Example
The following example enables MVR for domain 1:
Console(config)#mvr6 domain 1
Console(config)#
mvr6 profile
This command maps a range of MVR group addresses to a profile. Use the no form of this
command to remove the profile.
Syntax
mvr6 profile profile-name start-ip-address end-ip-address
profile-name - The name of a profile containing one or more MVR group addresses.
(Range: 1-21 characters)
start-ip-address - Starting IPv6 address for an MVR multicast group. This parameter must
be a full IPv6 address including the network prefix and host address bits.
end-ip-address - Ending IPv6 address for an MVR multicast group. This parameter must be
a full IPv6 address including the network prefix and host address bits.
Default Setting
No profiles are defined
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
• Use this command to statically configure all multicast group addresses that will join the MVR
VLAN. Any multicast data associated with an MVR group is sent from all source ports, and to all
receiver ports that have registered to receive data from that multicast group.
• All IPv6 addresses must be according to RFC 2373 “IPv6 Addressing Architecture,” using 8
colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used in the address to
indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields. (Note that the IP
address ff02::X is reserved.)
• The MVR6 group address range assigned to a profile cannot overlap with the group address
range of any other profile.
