Configuring IPv6 Multicast Routes in a Non-Default VRF

You can specify a default or non-default VRF for an IPv6 multicast static route. If no VRF is specified, the default VRF is used.
The VRF specified must be an existing VRF.
Follow these steps to create an IPv6 multicast static route in a non-default VRF.
  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Designate the non-default VRF for the IPv6 multicast static route. 
    device# configure terminal
device(config)# vrf corporate
    This example configures "corporate" as the non-default VRF.
  3. Give the route a route descriptor. 
    device(config-vrf-corporate)# rd 20:10
    This example configures 20:10 as the route descriptor.
  4. Specify the address family as IPv6. 
    device(config-vrf-corporate)# address-family ipv6
  5. Configure the IPv6 static route, including destination IP address, mask prefix, and next-hop information. 
    device(config-vrf-corporate-ipv6)# ipv6 mroute 2002::/64 ethernet 1/1/1
    This example configures an IPv6 static route to IP address 2002::/64 destinations via next-hop interface 1/1/1.

The following example creates an IPv6 multicast route with the RD 20:10 to 2002::/64 IP address via next-hop Ethernet interface 1/1/1. The route has a cost metric of 5. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# vrf corporate
device(config-vrf-corporate)# rd 20:10
device(config-vrf-corporate)# address-family ipv6
device(config-vrf-corporate-ipv6)# ipv6 mroute 2002::/64 ethernet 1/1/1 5
