To configure an MLD group interface on a base routing instance or VPRN routing instance

Steps
 
1 

Perform one of the following:

  1. Create an MLD group interface on a base routing instance.

    Perform the following steps:

    1. In the navigation tree Routing view, expand Network→NE→Routing Instance.

    2. Right-click on a routing instance icon and choose Properties. The Routing Instance (Edit) form appears.

    3. Click on the Multicast tab, select an MLD site and click Properties. The MLD Site (Edit) form appears.

    4. Click on the Group Interfaces tab.

    5. Click Create or select an existing group interface and click Properties. The MLD Group Interface (Create|Edit) form appears.

  2. Create an MLD group interface on a VPRN routing instance.

    Perform the following steps:

    1. Choose Manage→Service→Services from the NFM-P main menu. The Manage Services form opens.

    2. Choose a VPRN service and click Properties. The VPRN Service (Edit) form appears.

    3. On the VPRN Service tree, click on the site to which you need to add the MLD group interface.

    4. Expand Routing Instance - NE System ID→Routing Instance→Routing Instance name→Protocols.

    5. Right-click on the MLD icon and choose Properties. The MLD Site form appears.

    6. Click on the Group Interfaces tab.

    7. Click Create or select an existing group interface and click Properties. The MLD Group Interface (Create|Edit) form appears.

2 

Configure the required parameters.

3 

Select a forwarding service.

4 

Select an interface ID.

5 

Click on the Behavior tab and configure the required parameters.

If any (or all) of the three query interval parameters are configured, the following validation rules apply:

  1. The Query Interval parameter value must be greater than the Last Listener Query Interval and Response Query Interval parameter values.

  2. Setting any (or all) of the three Query Interval parameter values to zero on the MLD group interface has the same effect as enabling the Inherit From Site check box for the parameter: the corresponding query interval value configured on the MLD site is used for the MLD group interface.

  3. In cases where a mix of MLD site-configured and MLD group interface-configured query interval parameters are in use, validation rule 1 still applies.

    For example, if the Query Interval parameter is NOT configured on the MLD group interface but the Last Listener Query Interval and Response Query Interval parameters ARE configured on the MLD group interface, the MLD site-configured Query Interval parameter value must be greater than the MLD group interface-configured Last Listener Query Interval and Response Query Interval parameter values.

6 

Click on the Multicast CAC tab to configure multicast CAC for the MLD group interface.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Select a multicast CAC policy.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

7 

Save your changes and close the form.
