CAUTION:

Be sure to configure the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups allowed on a port before enabling IPv6
multicast group replacement. Otherwise, the IPv6 multicast group replacement functionality will not take

effect. For more information about the maximum number of IPv6 groups that a port can join, see

Configuring maximum multicast groups that a port can join

Configuring 802.1p precedence for MLD messages

You can change 802.1p precedence of MLD messages so that they can be assigned higher forwarding

priority when congestion occurs on their outgoing ports.

Configuring 802.1p precedence for MLD messages globally

Follow these steps to configure 802.1p precedence for MLD messages globally:

dot1p-priority priority-number

Required
The default 802.1p precedence for
MLD messages is 0.

MLD messages is 0.

Configuring an IPv6 multicast user control policy

IPv6 multicast user control policies are configured on access switches to allow only authorized users to

receive requested IPv6 multicast flows. This helps restrict users from ordering certain multicast-on-demand
programs.
In practice, a device first needs to perform authentication, 802.1X authentication for example, on

connected hosts through a RADIUS server. Then, the device uses the configured multicast user control

policy to perform multicast access control on authenticated users as follows.

Upon receiving an MLD report from a host, the access switch checks the IPv6 multicast group
address and multicast source address carried in the report against the configured policies. If a

match is found, the user is allowed to join the multicast group. Otherwise, the join report is dropped

by the access switch.

Upon receiving a done message from a host, the access switch matches the IPv6 multicast group

and source addresses against the policies. If a match is found, the host is allowed to leave the group.
Otherwise, the done message is dropped by the access switch.
