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.
Follow these steps to configure a static member of an IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source

and group:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Configure a static member of an
IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6

multicast source and group

mld static-group
ipv6-group-address [ source

ipv6-source-address ]

Required
By default, an interface is not a
static member of any IPv6 multicast

group or IPv6 multicast source and

group.

NOTE:

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 IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, it must be an IPv6

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

For more information about IPv6 PIM-SM and a DR, see the chapter “IPv6 PIM configuration.”

A static member port does not respond to queries from the MLD querier. When you configure an
interface as a static member port or remove this configuration on the interface, the interface does not

unsolicitedly send any MLD report or an MLD done message. In other words, the interface is not a real

member of the IPv6 multicast group or the IPv6 multicast and source group.

Configuring an IPv6 multicast group filter

To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain IPv6 multicast groups,

you can set an IPv6 ACL rule on the interface so that the interface maintains only the IPv6 multicast

groups matching the criteria.
Follow these steps to configure an IPv6 multicast group filter:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Configure an IPv6 multicast group
filter

mld group-policy acl6-number
[ version-number ]

Required
By default, no IPv6 group filter is

configured on the interface. That is,
hosts on the current interface can

join any valid multicast group.
