MLD configuration task list
For the configuration tasks in this section, the following rules apply:
•
In MLD view, the configuration is effective globally. In interface view, the configuration is effective
on only the current interface.
•
The configurations made in interface view take precedence over those in MLD view. If you do not
make a configuration in interface view, the global configuration in MLD view applies to that
interface.
Complete these tasks to configure MLD:

This section describes how to configure basic MLD functions.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure basic MLD functions, complete the following tasks:
•
Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
domain are interoperable at the network layer.
•
Configure IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SM.
•
Determine the MLD version.
•
Determine the IPv6 multicast group address and IPv6 multicast source address for static group
member configuration.
•
Determine the ACL rule for IPv6 multicast group filtering.
