Operation Manual – MulticastH3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 5 IPv6 Multicast VLAN Configuration5-35.4 IPv6 Multicast VLAN Configuration ExamplesI. Network requirementsz As shown in Figure 5-2, Router A connects to an IPv6 multicast source (Source)through GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, and to Switch A through GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.z Router A is an IPv6 multicast router while Switch A is a Layer 2 switch. Router Aacts as the MLD querier on the subnet.z Switch A’s GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 belongs to VLAN 1024, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2through GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 belong to VLAN 11 through VLAN 13 respectively,and Host A through Host C are attached to GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 throughGigabitEthernet 1/0/4 of Switch A.z Configure the IPv6 multicast VLAN feature so that Router A just sends IPv6multicast data to VLAN 1024 rather than to each VLAN when the three hostsattached to Switch A need the IPv6 multicast data.II.
