To configure MLD on a base routing instance or VPRN routing instance

Purpose

Perform this procedure to configure MLD on a base routing instance or on a VPRN routing instance.

Note: You must first enable MLD on the base routing instance of the VPRN site. See To enable MLD on a base routing instance .

You must ensure that the VPRN routing instance has an associated L3 access interface, and that the IPv6 Allowed parameter on the interface is enabled. You must add an IPv6 address to the L3 access interface. See To configure an L3 access interface on a VPRN site and To assign an IP address to a VPRN L3 access interface .

MLD is supported on a VPRN routing instance on the 7950 XRS, the 7750 SR in chassis mode D, and the 7450 ESS in chassis mode D with mixed mode enabled.
