Configuring the MLD version for individual ports
Configuring the MLD version for individual ports
You can specify the MLD version for individual ports in a VLAN. For example, the following commands configure ports 1/4, 1/5, 1/6 and 2/1 to use MLDv2. The other ports use the MLD version specified with the multicast6 version command, or the globally configured MLD version.
Device(config)#vlan 20
Syntax: [no] multicast6
Configuring static groups
A
The maximum number of supported static groups in a VLAN is 512, and the maximum number of supported static groups for individual ports in a VLAN is 256. The static group forwards packets to the static group ports even if they have no client membership reports. Configure a static group for specific ports on VLAN 20 using commands similar to the following.
device(config)#vlan 20
Syntax: [no] multicast6
The
The count is optional, which allows a contiguous range of groups. Omitting the count num is equivalent to the count being 1.
Configuring static router ports
All multicast control and data packets are forwarded to router ports that receive queries. Although router ports are learned, you can configure static router ports to force multicast traffic to specific ports, even though these ports never receive queries. To configure static router ports, enter commands such as the following:
Device(config)#vlan 70
Syntax: [no] multicast6
Disabling static group proxy
A device with statically configured groups acts as a proxy and sends membership reports for its static groups when it receives general or
device(config)#vlan 20
