Configuring IPv6 Multicast

	Command	Purpose
Step 4	ipv6 mld query-interval seconds	Configures the frequency of MLD Host-Query packets transmitted.
		A designated router for a LAN is the only router that transmits
		queries. The default value is 60 seconds.
	Example:
	Router(config-if)# ipv6 mld
	query-interval 60
Step 5	ipv6 mld query-max-response-time	Specifies the maximum query response time advertised in the MLD
	seconds	queries. Default value is 10 seconds. Configuring a value less than
		10 seconds enables the router to prune groups faster.
	Example:
	Router(config-if)# ipv6 mld
	query-max-response-time 20
Step 6	ipv6 mld query-timeout seconds	Specifies the timeout for the router to take over as the querier for the
		interface, after the previous querier has stopped querying. The
		default value is 2 * query-interval. If the router hears no queries for
	Example:	the timeout period, it becomes the querier.
	Router(config-if)# ipv6 mld
	query-timeout 130
Step 7	ipv6 mld join-group [group-address]	Configures MLD reporting for given group with MLDv1 or given
	[[include exclude] {source-address	source and group with MLDv2. The packets that are addressed to
	source-list [acl]}	this group address are passed up to the client process in the router
		as well forwarded out the interface.
	Example:
	Router(config-if)# ipv6 mld join-group
	FF04::12 exclude 2001:DB8::10::11
Step 8	ipv6 mld static-group [group-address]	Configures forwarding of traffic for the multicast group onto this
	[[include exclude] {source-address	interface and behave as if an MLD joiner was present on the
	source-list [acl]}	interface. The packets to the group get fastswitched or hardware
		switched (whatever is available on the platform).
	Example:	Note	This command is not a sufficient condition for traffic to be
	Router(config-if)# ipv6 mld
			forwarded onto the interface. Other conditions such as
	static-group ff04::10 include 100::1
			absence of a route, not being the DR or losing an assert can
			cause the router to not forward traffic even if the command
			is configured.

Configuring a Rendezvous Point

To configure a rendezvous point (RP) in a Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) network, see the Configuring a Rendezvous Point guide at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/solutions_docs/ip_multicast/White_papers/rps.html

This guide provides scenario descriptions and basic configuration examples for the following options:

•Static RP

•Bootstrap router

•Anycast RP
