You can implement the MLD multicast protocol on Extreme Networks devices using simple CLI commands as described in this chapter and the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Commands chapter of the S-, K-, and 7100 Series CLI Reference Guide. A basic configuration process involves the following tasks:
For PIM for IPv6 to operate, the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol must be enabled. You must also configure a unicast routing protocol, such as OSPFv3. For both DVMRP and PIM for IPv4 to operate, IGMP must be enabled. See Configuring IGMP for IGMP configuration information.
