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

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.

If MLDv2 is enabled on a VLAN interface, 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 details about the mld-snooping host-join command, refer to MLD Snooping Configuration

Commands in the IP Multicast Command Reference.
