Configuring Basic Functions of MLD

Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring the basic functions of MLD, complete the following tasks:
Configure any IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain can be interoperable
at the network layer.
Configure IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SM.
In addition, prepare the following data:
MLD version
IPv6 multicast group address and IPv6 multicast source address for static group member
configuration
ACL rule for IPv6 multicast group filtering
The maximum number of IPv6 multicast groups that can be joined on an interface

Enabling MLD

Enable MLD on the interface on which IPv6 multicast group memberships are to be created and
maintained.
Follow these steps to enable MLD:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable IPv6 multicast routing
Enter interface view
Enable MLD
For details about the multicast ipv6 routing-table command, see IPv6 Multicast Routing and
Forwarding Commands in the IP Multicast Volume.

Configuring the MLD Version

Because MLD message types and formats vary with MLD versions, the same MLD version should be
configured for all routers on the same subnet before MLD can work properly.
Use the command...
system-view
multicast ipv6 routing-enable
interface interface-type interface-number
mld enable
1-10
