Configuring IPv6 Multicast Boundaries

An IPv6 access list is used to define boundaries for IPv6 PIM enabled interfaces.

This task requires an IPv6 standard or extended access list to be created to filter IPv6 multicast traffic. An IPv6 standard access list is defined in the steps. Other IPv6 access list example configurations follow this task.

This task assumes that IPv6 PIM routing is enabled for the interface used in this task.

  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Create a standard IPv6 access and permit multicast traffic for group ff1e::300. 
    device(config)# ipv6 access-list acl10
device(config-ipv6-access-list acl10)# permit ipv6 any host ff1e::300
  3. Deny all other traffic. 
    device(config-ipv6-access-list acl10)# deny ipv6 any any
  4. Exit to global configuration mode. 
    device(config-ipv6-access-list acl10)# exit
  5. Enter virtual Ethernet (VE) interface mode. 
    device(config)# interface ve 40
  6. Configure multicast boundaries for VE 40 using access list 10. 
    device(config-vif-40)# ipv6 multicast-boundary acl10

The following example creates IPv6 access list acl10 to permit multicast traffic for group ff1e::300 and deny all other traffic. Access list acl10 is used to define multicast boundaries for IPv6 PIM-enabled interfaces. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 access-list acl10 
device(config-ipv6-access-list acl10)# permit ipv6 any host ff1e::300
device(config-ipv6-access-list acl10)# deny ipv6 any any
device(config-ipv6-access-list acl10)# exit
device(config)# interface ve 40
device(config-vif-40)# ipv6 multicast-boundary acl10
