Summary of enhancements in release 02.6.00 (Continued)
Description
In Release 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare
software, the BigIron RX 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
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.
In Release 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare
software, creating an IGMP static-group allows the
BigIron RXswitch 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.
In Release 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare
software, you can configure a device running IGMP
Snooping to immediately remove a VLAN from the IP
multicast group when it detects a fast leave
message on a specified VLAN.
