Enabling MLD

Enable MLD on the interface on which IPv6 multicast group memberships will be created and

maintained.
To enable MLD:

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enable IPv6 multicast
routing.

multicast ipv6 routing-enable

Disable by default.

3.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

N/A

4.

Enable MLD.

mld enable

Disabled by default.

Configuring the MLD version

Because MLD message types and formats vary with MLD versions, the same MLD version should be

configured for all routers on the same subnet before MLD can operate correctly.

Configuring an MLD version globally

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

Configuring static joining

After an interface is configured as a static member of an IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source

and group, it will act as a virtual member of the IPv6 multicast group to receive IPv6 multicast data
addressed to that IPv6 multicast group for the purpose of testing IPv6 multicast data forwarding.

Configuration guidelines

Before you can configure an interface of an IPv6 PIM-SM device as a static member of an IPv6

multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source and group, if the interface is MLD and IPv6 PIM-SM

enabled, it must be an IPv6 PIM-SM DR. If this interface is MLD enabled but not IPv6 PIM-SM
