# Assigning a Multicast Group to an Interface

You can assign an interface to send and receive all traffic for a particular multicast group. This feature allows you to control the MLD traffic and to test the behavior of multicast protocols in the network.

ipv6 mld static-group

- Use to send and receive all traffic for a multicast group from a specific interface.
- The interface sets no timers for this group.
- Example
  host1:boston(config-if)#ipv6 mld static-group ff0e::1
- Use the no version to remove the group from the interface.
- See ipv6 mld static-group.
