Configuring Mld Snooping Port Features; Setting Aging Timers For Dynamic Ports; Configuring Static Ports - HPE FlexNetwork 5130 EI Series Configuration Manual

Configuring MLD snooping port features

Before you configure MLD snooping port features, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable MLD snooping for the VLAN.
•
Determine the aging timer for dynamic router ports.
•
Determine the aging timer for dynamic member ports.
•
Determine the addresses of the IPv6 multicast group and IPv6 multicast source.

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 value for the
port is specified by the hello message. In this case, the mld-snooping router-aging-time
command does not take effect on the port.
•
You can set the timers globally for all VLANs 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 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

You can configure the following types of static ports:
•
Static member port—When you configure a port as a static member port for an IPv6 multicast
group, all hosts attached to the port will receive IPv6 multicast data for the group.
