Configuring an IPv6 multicast routing policy

You can configure the router to select an RPF route based on the longest match principle. For more
information about RPF route selection, see
By configuring per-source or per-source-and-group load splitting, you can optimize the IPv6 traffic
delivery when multiple IPv6 data flows are handled.
To configure an IPv6 multicast routing policy:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the device to select
an RPF route based on the
longest match.
3. Configure IPv6 multicast load
splitting.
Configuring an IPv6 multicast forwarding range
IPv6 multicast packets do not travel infinitely in a network. The IPv6 multicast data of each IPv6 multicast
group must be transmitted within a definite scope. Currently, you can define an IPv6 multicast forwarding
range by specifying boundary interfaces, which form a closed IPv6 multicast forwarding area.
You can configure the forwarding boundary for a specific IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast group
with the scope field in its group address being specified on all interfaces that support IPv6 multicast
forwarding. A multicast forwarding boundary sets the boundary condition for the IPv6 multicast groups
in the specified range or scope. If the destination address of an IPv6 multicast packet matches the set
boundary condition, the packet will not be forwarded. Once an IPv6 multicast boundary is configured
on an interface, this interface can no longer forward IPv6 multicast packets (including those sent from the
local device) or receive IPv6 multicast packets.
To configure an IPv6 multicast forwarding range:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
