Configuring Static Joining - HP A8800 Configuration Manual

Configuring static joining

After an interface is configured as a static member of an IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source
and group, it will act as a virtual member of the IPv6 multicast group to receive IPv6 multicast data
addressed to that IPv6 multicast group for the purpose of testing IPv6 multicast data forwarding.
Configuration guidelines
Before you can configure an interface of an IPv6 PIM-SM device as a static member of an IPv6
•
multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source and group, if the interface is IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, it
must be an IPv6 PIM-SM DR. If this interface is not IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, it must be an MLD querier.
For more information about IPv6 PIM-SM and a DR, see
A static member port does not respond to queries from the MLD querier. When you configure an
•
interface as a static member port or remove this configuration on the interface, the interface does
not unsolicitedly send any MLD report or an MLD done message. In other words, the interface is not
a real member of the IPv6 multicast group or the IPv6 multicast and source group.
Configuration procedure
To configure a static member of an IPv6 multicast group or an IPv6 multicast source and group:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure a static member of
an IPv6 multicast group or an
IPv6 multicast source and
group.
Configuring an IPv6 multicast group filter
To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain IPv6 multicast groups,
you can set an IPv6 ACL rule on the interface so that the interface maintains only the IPv6 multicast
groups matching the criteria.
To configure an IPv6 multicast group filter:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure an IPv6 multicast
group filter.

Remarks
N/A
N/A
By default, an interface is not a
static member of any IPv6 multicast
group or IPv6 multicast source and
group.
Remarks
N/A
N/A
By default, no IPv6 group filter is
configured on the interface. That is,
hosts on the current interface can
join any valid multicast group.
