Static Port Configuration Example - HP FlexNetwork 7500 Series Configuration Manual

Host slots (0 in total):
Host ports (2 in total):
GE1/0/3
GE1/0/4
The output shows the following information:
•
Host A and Host B have joined IPv6 multicast group FF1E::101 through the member ports
GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 on Switch A, respectively.
•
Host A and Host B have failed to join IPv6 multicast group FF1E::202.

Static port configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
•
Router A runs MLDv1 and acts as the MLD querier, and Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C run
MLDv1 snooping.
•
Host A and Host C are permanent receivers of IPv6 multicast group FF1E::101.
Configure static ports to meet the following requirements:
•
To enhance the reliability of IPv6 multicast traffic transmission, configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/3
and GigabitEthernet 1/0/5 on Switch C as static member ports for IPv6 multicast group
FF1E::101.
•
Suppose the STP runs on the network. To avoid data loops, the forwarding path from Switch A
to Switch C is blocked. IPv6 multicast data flows to the receivers attached to Switch C only
along the path of Switch A—Switch B—Switch C. When this path is blocked, at least one MLD
query-response cycle must be completed before IPv6 multicast data flows to the receivers
along the path of Switch A—Switch C. In this case, the multicast delivery is interrupted during
the process. For more information about the STP, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration
Guide.
Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 on Switch A as a static router port. Then, IPv6 multicast data
can flow to the receivers nearly uninterrupted along the path of Switch A—Switch C when the
path of Switch A—Switch B—Switch C is blocked.
