Command Usage
• Use the Configure Profile page to statically configure all multicast group addresses that will join
the MVR6 VLAN. Any multicast data associated with an MVR6 group is sent from all source
ports to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data from that multicast group.
• All IPv6 addresses must be according to RFC 2373 “IPv6 Addressing Architecture,” using 8
colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal values. One double colon may be used in the address to
indicate the appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields. (Note that the IP
address ff02::X is reserved.)
• The MVR6 group address range assigned to a profile cannot overlap with the group address
range of any other profile.
• MRV6 domains can be associated with more than one MVR6 profile. But since MVR6 domains
cannot share the group range, an MRV6 profile can only be associated with one MVR6 domain.
