Usage Guidelines
Note: Disabling the flooding of unregistered IPv6 multicast frames in an MLD-snooping-enabled VLAN is supported only on the ICX 7750 (standalone and stacking) platform.

In releases prior to FastIron 8.0.30, support for this command on the RUCKUS ICX 7750 was for devices in standalone mode only.

After the hardware forwarding database (FDB) entry is made, the multicast traffic is switched only to the VLAN hosts that are members of the multicast group. This can avoid congestion and loss of traffic on the ports that have not subscribed to this IPv6 multicast traffic.

The no form of this command enables the flooding of unregistered IPv6 multicast frames in an MLD-snooping-enabled VLAN.

Examples

The following example disables flooding of unregistered IPv6 multicast frames. 

device# confiure terminal 
device(config)# ipv6 multicast disable-flooding
