multicast VLAN on Switch B. Switch B replicates the IPv6 multicast data and sends a separate copy to
each user port in the IPv6 multicast VLAN.

Configuring a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast
VLAN
To configure a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast VLAN, you must configure a VLAN as an IPv6 multicast
VLAN, and assign the VLANs that contain receiver hosts to the IPv6 multicast VLAN as sub-VLANs.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast VLAN, complete the following tasks:
Create VLANs as required.
•
• Enable MLD snooping for the VLAN to be configured as the IPv6 multicast VLAN, and for the
VLANs to be configured as sub-VLANs.

Configuration guidelines

When you configure a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast VLAN, follow these guidelines:
• The VLAN to be configured as the IPv6 multicast VLAN must exist.
A VLAN to be configured as a sub-VLAN must exist and must not be an IPv6 multicast VLAN or a
•
sub-VLAN of any other IPv6 multicast VLANs.
The total number of IPv6 multicast VLANs on a device must not exceed the system upper limit.
•

Configuration procedure

To configure a sub-VLAN-based IPv6 multicast VLAN:
