Setting The 802.1P Priority For Mld Messages; Configuring Mld Snooping Policies; Configuring An Ipv6 Multicast Group Policy - HP FlexFabric 5950 series Configuration Manual

Setting the 802.1p priority for MLD messages

When congestion occurs on outgoing ports of the Layer 2 device, it forwards MLD messages in their
802.1p priority order, from highest to lowest. You can assign a higher 802.1p priority to MLD
messages that are created or forwarded by the device.
You can configure the 802.1p priority of MLD messages for all VLANs and VSIs in MLD-snooping
view or for a VLAN in VLAN view. For a VLAN, the VLAN-specific configuration takes priority over the
global configuration.
Setting the 802.1p priority for MLD messages globally
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter MLD-snooping view.
3. Set the 802.1p priority for
MLD messages.
Setting the 802.1p priority for MLD messages in a VLAN
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VLAN view.
3. Set the 802.1p priority for
MLD messages in the
VLAN.

Configuring MLD snooping policies

Before you configure MLD snooping policies, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable MLD snooping for the VLAN or VSI.
•
Determine the ACL used by the IPv6 multicast group policy.
•
Determine the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups that a port can join.

Configuring an IPv6 multicast group policy

This feature enables the device to filter MLD reports by using an ACL that specifies the IPv6
multicast groups and the optional sources. It is used to control the IPv6 multicast groups that receiver
hosts can join.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure an IPv6 multicast group policy, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
This configuration takes effect on the IPv6 multicast groups that ports join dynamically.
