Summary of enhancements in release 02.6.00 (Continued)
Description
Beginning with release 02.6.00, you can define multicast
boundaries on a per VLAN basis.
In Release 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare software,
the device supports IPv6 Protocol Independent Multicast
(PIM) Sparse. IPv6 PIM Sparse provides multicasting that is
especially suitable for widely distributed multicast
environments
This release supports Embedded RP which allows the switch
to learn RP information using the multicast group destination
address instead of the statically configured RP.
PIM SM traffic snooping eliminates the superfluous traffic by
configuring the device to forward IP multicast group traffic
only on the ports that are attached to receivers for the group
This release supports Anycast RP as defined in RFC 3446.
Anycast RP is a method of providing intra-domain redundancy
and load-balancing between multiple Rendezvous Points (RP)
in a Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse mode (PIM-SM)
network.
Release 02.6.00 adds support for MLD Snooping (MLDv1
and MLDv2) on Brocade BigIron RX devices running IPv6.
In Release 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare software,
creating an IGMP static-group allows the BigIron RX switch
having L2 interfaces configured with snooping to pull traffic
from upstream sources using IGMP joins. When using the
uplink option, you avoid burning a dedicated port. This is
supported for IGMP v2 and v3.
