To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

Enter interface view

interface interface-type

Enable the MLD SSM mapping
feature

mld ssm-mapping enable

Required
Disabled by default.

NOTE:

To ensure SSM service for all hosts on a subnet, regardless of the MLD version running on the hosts, enable
MLDv2 on the interface that forwards IPv6 multicast traffic onto the subnet.

Configuring MLD SSM mappings

By performing this configuration multiple times, you can map an IPv6 multicast group to different IPv6

multicast sources.
Follow these steps to configure an MLD SSM mapping:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter MLD view

mld

Configure an MLD SSM mapping

ssm-mapping ipv6-group-address
prefix-length ipv6-source-address

Required
No MLD mappings are configured

by default.

CAUTION:

If MLDv2 is enabled on a VLAN interface of a switch, and if a port in that VLAN is configured as a
simulated host, the simulated host will send MLDv2 reports even if you did not specify an IPv6 multicast

source when configuring simulated joining with the mld-snooping host-join command. In this case, the

corresponding IPv6 multicast group will not be created based on the configured MLD SSM mappings. For
more information about the mld-snooping host-join command, see

IP Multicast Command Reference.

Configuring MLD proxying

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure the MLD proxying feature, complete the following tasks:

Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the

domain are interoperable at the network layer

Enable IPv6 multicast routing

Enabling MLD proxying

You can enable MLD proxying on the interface in the direction toward the root of the multicast forwarding

tree to make the device serve as an MLD proxy.
