Determine the maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups that an interface can join.
•

Enabling MLD

When you enable MLD, follow these guidelines:
Enable MLD on the interface on which IPv6 multicast group memberships are to be created and
•
maintained.
Receiver hosts can join IPv6 multicast groups only if MLD is enabled on the receiver-side DRs. For
•
more information about DR, see
• MLD snooping is not allowed in a VLAN after MLD is enabled on the virtual interface of that VLAN,
and vice versa.
To enable MLD:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IPv6 multicast
routing.
3. Enter interface view.
4. Enable MLD.
Configuring the MLD version
Because MLD message types and formats vary with MLD versions, the same MLD version should be
configured for all routers on the same subnet before MLD can work properly.
Configuring an MLD version globally
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter MLD view.
3. Configure an MLD version
globally.
Configuring an MLD version on an interface
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure an MLD version on
the interface.
