Enabling MLDv2

The default MLD version when IPv6 PIM is enabled is MLDv1. You must configure the ipv6 mld version 2 command to enable MLDv2.

You can configure MLDv2 globally, on an interface, or for a specified VRF. Refer to the ipv6 mld version command in the RUCKUS FastIron Command Reference. To enable MLDv2 for a specified VRF, use the following steps.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enable IPv6 PIM SM for a VRF named blue. 
    device(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
  3. Enable MLDv2 for VRF blue. 
    device(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# ipv6 mld version 2

The following example enables IPv6 PIM for the VRF named blue and enables MLDv2. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
device(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# ipv6 mld version 2

After enabling MLDv2, you can set MLD options for the default or a specified VRF. Refer to Configuring MLD Options for Default and Non-Default VRFs.
