Configuring MLD Proxy
To configure a downstream interface, enable MLD on that interface. To configure MLD proxy on the router, complete the following tasks:
- Enable IPv6 multicast.
- Identify the interface that you want to act as the upstream interface.
- Enable MLD proxy on that interface.
- (Optional) Specify how often the router should send unsolicited reports to routers on the upstream interface.
![]() | Note: You can configure MLD proxy only on IPv6 interfaces. For information about configuring IPv6 interfaces, see Configuring IPv6 in the JunosE IP, IPv6, and IGP Configuration Guide. |
To configure MLD proxy on an interface:
- Enable MLD proxy on the upstream interface.host1(config-if)#ipv6 mld-proxy
Use the no version to disable MLD proxy on an interface.
Note: You can enable only one upstream interface.
- (Optional) Configure unsolicited report interval, which
specifies how often the upstream interface should transmit unsolicited
reports.host1(config-if)#ipv6 mld-proxy unsolicited-report-interval 600
Use the no version to transmit unsolicited reports using the default value, 100-tenths of a second (10 seconds).
Note: Issue this command only on the upstream interface. Otherwise, this command has no effect.
- (Optional) Configure the MLD proxy version for the interface.host1(config-if)#ipv6 mld-proxy version 1
Use the no version to set the version to its default value, MLDv2.
