Setting Aging Timers For Dynamic Ports; Configuring Static Ports - HP 5920 series Configuration Manual

Setting aging timers for dynamic ports

When you set aging timers for dynamic ports, follow these guidelines:
If the memberships of IPv6 multicast groups frequently change, set a relatively small value for the
•
aging timer of the dynamic member ports. If the memberships of IPv6 multicast groups rarely
change, you can set a relatively large value.
• If a dynamic router port receives an IPv6 PIMv2 hello message, the aging timer for the port is the
timer in the hello message rather than the timer set in the mld-snooping router-aging-time
command on the local device.
You can set the aging timers for dynamic ports either for the current VLAN in VLAN view or globally
•
for all VLANs in MLD-snooping view. If configurations are made in both VLAN view and
MLD-snooping view, the configuration made in VLAN view takes priority.
Setting the aging timers for dynamic ports globally
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter MLD-snooping view.
3. Set the aging timer for
dynamic router ports globally.
4. Set the aging timer for
dynamic member ports
globally.
Setting the aging timers for the dynamic ports in a VLAN
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VLAN view.
3. Set the aging timer for
the dynamic router ports
in the VLAN.
4. Set the aging timer for
the dynamic member
ports in the VLAN.

Configuring static ports

If all hosts attached to a port are interested in the IPv6 multicast data addressed to a particular IPv6
multicast group or the IPv6 multicast data that a particular IPv6 multicast source sends to a particular IPv6
multicast group, you can configure the port as a static member port for the specified IPv6 multicast group
or the specified IPv6 multicast source and group.
You can also configure a port as a static router port, through which the switch can forward all IPv6
multicast traffic it receives.
When you configure static ports, follow these guidelines:
