Configuring IP Multicast Switching

IPMSv6 Application Example

The figure below shows a sample network with the switch sending multicast video. A client attached to
Port 5 needs to be configured as a static MLD neighbor and another client attached to Port 2 needs to be
configured as a static MLD querier.
Static Neighbor
Attached to Slot 1, Port 5.
Static Querier
Attached to Slot 1, Port 2.
The network administrator has determined that the network is too lossy and therefore the robustness vari-
able needs to be set to a higher (i.e., 7) value.
Follow the steps below to configure this network:
Note. All the steps following Step 1 (which must be executed first) may be entered in any order.
1
Enable IP Multicast Switching and Routing switch-wide, by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast status enable
2
Configure the client attached to Port 5 as a static MLD neighbor belonging to VLAN 5 by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast static-neighbor vlan 5 port 1/5
3
Configure the client attached to Port 2 as a static MLD querier belonging to VLAN 5 by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast static-querier vlan 5 port 1/2
4
Modify the robustness variable from its default value of 2 to 7 by entering:
-> ipv6 multicast robustness 7
