Enabling MLD Static Group Membership

You can create MLD static group membership to test multicast forwarding without a receiver host. When you enable MLD static group membership, data is forwarded to an interface without receiving membership reports from host members.

To configure MLD static membership, include the static statement. Then specify the group, or the group and its source or sources:

static {

    group group {

        source source; 

    }

}

   
NOTE: You must specify a unique address for each group.


 

You can configure this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

• [edit protocols mld interface interface-name]
• [edit logical-routers logical-router-name protocols interface interface-name]

Example: MLD Static Group Membership

Configure MLD static membership on the interface where the data is to be forwarded, and specify the groups ff02::1:ff05:1a8d and ff02::1:ffa8:c34a with the source fe80::2e0:81ff:fe05:1a8d:

[edit ]

protocols {

    mld {

        interface fe-1/0/1.0 {

            static {

                 group ff02::1:ff05:1a8d; 

                group ff02::1:ffa8:c34a {

                    source fe80::2e0:81ff:fe05:1a8d;

                }

            }

        }

    }

}
