If this feature is disabled on a port, the port can be connected with both multicast sources and IPv6
multicast receivers.
Configuring IPv6 multicast source port filtering globally
Follow these steps to configure IPv6 multicast source port filtering:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter MLD Snooping view
Enable IPv6 multicast source
port filtering
Configuring IPv6 multicast source port filtering on a port or a group of ports
Follow these steps to configure IPv6 multicast source port filtering on a port or a group of ports:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet port view or port
group view
Enable IPv6 multicast source
port filtering
Some models of devices, when enabled to filter IPv6 multicast data based on the source ports, are
automatically enabled to filter IPv4 multicast data based on the source ports.
Configuring Dropping Unknown IPv6 Multicast Data
Unknown IPv6 multicast data refers to IPv6 multicast data for which no forwarding entries exist in the
MLD Snooping forwarding table: When the switch receives such IPv6 multicast traffic:
With the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data enabled, the switch drops all unknown
IPv6 multicast data received.
With the function of dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data disabled, the switch floods unknown
IPv6 multicast data in the VLAN to which the unknown IPv6 multicast data belongs.
Follow these steps to enable dropping unknown IPv6 multicast data in a VLAN:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter VLAN view
Use the command...
system-view
mld-snooping
source-deny port interface-list
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
port-group manual
port-group-name
mld-snooping source-deny
Use the command...
