Usage Guidelines

Use this command to filter multicast groups to the specified VLAN ports.

The policy file used by this command is a text file that contains the IPv6 multicast addresses of the multicast groups that you wish to block.

To remove MLD snooping filtering from a port, use the none keyword version of the command.

Use the following template to create a snooping filter policy file:

#
# Add your group addresses between "Start" and "end"
# Do not touch the rest of the file!!!!
entry mldFilter {
if match any {
#------------------ Start of group addresses ------------------
nlri FF03::1/128;
nlri FF05::1/112;
#------------------- end of group addresses -------------------
} then {
deny;
}
}
entry catch_all {
if {
} then {
permit;
}

Example

The following example configures the policy file ap_multicast to filter multicast packets forwarded to VLAN marketing on ports 2:1-2:4:

configure mld snooping marketing ports 2:1-2:4 filter ap_multicast
