Configuring Ipv6 Static Multicast Mac Address Entries - HP A6600 Configuration Manual

When forwarding IPv6 multicast traffic, the router replicates a copy of the IPv6 multicast traffic for each
downstream node and forwards the traffic, and thus each of these downstream nodes forms a branch of
the IPv6 multicast distribution tree. You can configure the maximum number of downstream nodes
(namely, the maximum number of outgoing interfaces) for a single entry in the IPv6 multicast forwarding
table to lessen the burden on the router for replicating IPv6 multicast traffic. If the configured maximum
number of downstream nodes for a single IPv6 multicast forwarding entry is smaller than the current
number, the downstream nodes in excess will not be deleted immediately. Instead, the IPv6 multicast
routing protocol will delete them. The router will no longer install new IPv6 multicast forwarding entries for
newly added downstream nodes until the number of existing downstream nodes comes down under the
configured value.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the maximum
number of entries in the IPv6
multicast forwarding table.
3. Configure the maximum
number of downstream nodes
for a single IPv6 multicast
forwarding entry.

Configuring IPv6 Static multicast MAC address entries

In Layer-2 multicast, a Layer-2 IPv6 multicast protocol (such as MLD snooping) can dynamically add IPv6
multicast MAC address entries. Or, you can manually configure IPv6 multicast MAC address entries.
Configuring an IPv6 static multicast MAC address entry in system view
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a static multicast
MAC address entry.
Configuring an IPv6 static multicast MAC address entry in interface view
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter Ethernet interface/Layer
2 aggregate interface view or
port group view.
3. Configure a static multicast
MAC address entry.

In Ethernet interface view or Layer
2 aggregate interface view, the
configuration is effective on only
the current interface. In port group
view, the configuration is effective
on all ports in the port group.
Required.
No static multicast MAC address
entries exist by default.
