Configure an MLD version on
the interface
After an interface is configured as a static member of an IPv6 multicast 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.
Follow these steps to configure a static member of an IPv6 multicast group:

Configure a static member of
an IPv6 multicast group
Before you can configure an interface of an IPv6 PIM-SM device as a static
■
member of an IPv6 multicast group, if the interface is IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, it
must be an IPv6 PIM-SM DR; if this interface is MLD enabled but not IPv6
PIM-SM enabled, it must be an MLD querier. For more information about IPv6
PIM-SM and a DR, refer to
As a static member of an IPv6 multicast group, an interface does not respond
■
to the queries from the MLD querier, nor does it send an unsolicited MLD
membership report or an MLD done message when it joins or leaves an IPv6
multicast group. In other words, the interface will not become a real member
of the IPv6 multicast group.
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 as a packet
filter to limit the range of multicast groups that the interface serves.
