Figure 31 Sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN
MLD snooping manages router ports in the IPv6 multicast VLAN and member ports in each sub-VLAN.
When Switch A receives IPv6 multicast data from the multicast source, it sends only one copy of the IPv6
multicast data to the IPv6 multicast VLAN on Switch B. Then, Switch B sends a separate copy to each
sub-VLAN of the IPv6 multicast VLAN.
Port-based IPv6 multicast VLAN
As shown in
Host A, Host B, and Host C are in VLAN 2 through VLAN 4, respectively.
•
On Switch B, VLAN 10 is an IPv6 multicast VLAN.
•
All the user ports are hybrid ports and are assigned to VLAN 10.
MLD snooping is enabled for the IPv6 multicast VLAN and VLAN 2 through VLAN 4.
Figure 32 Port-based IPv6 multicast VLAN
MLD snooping manages the router ports and member ports in the IPv6 multicast VLAN. When Switch A
receives IPv6 multicast data from the multicast source, it sends only one copy of the IPv6 multicast data
to the IPv6 multicast VLAN on Switch B. Then, Switch B sends a separate copy to each user port in the
IPv6 multicast VLAN.
