Concept Guide

management protocol (IGMP) for IPv4; MLD version 2 is based on version 3 of the IGMP for IPv4. IPv6 multicast for the Dell
Networking OS supports versions 1 and 2.
• Protocol-independent multicast-sparse mode (PIM-SM) — PIM-SM is a multicast protocol in which multicast receivers explicitly join
to receive multicast trac. The protocol uses a router as the root or rendezvous point (RP) of the share tree distribution tree to
distribute multicast trac to a multicast group. Messages to join the multicast group (Join messages) are sent towards the RP and data
is sent from senders to the RP so receivers can discover who are the senders and begin receiving trac destined to the multicast
group.
For more information, refer to the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), Multicast IPv6, and Protocol Independent Multicast (IPv6) chapters
in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
Conguration Task List for IPv6
The following are conguration tasks for the IPv6 protocol.
• Adjusting Your CAM-Prole
• Assigning an IPv6 Address to an Interface
• Assigning a Static IPv6 Route
• Conguring Telnet with IPv6
• SNMP over IPv6
• Showing IPv6 Information
• Clearing IPv6 Routes
Adjusting Your CAM-Prole
Dell Networking OS supports the cam-acl command.
Although adjusting your CAM-prole is not a mandatory step, if you plan to implement IPv6 ACLs, adjust your CAM settings.
The CAM space is allotted in FP blocks. The total space allocated must equal 13 FP blocks. There are 16 FP blocks, but the System Flow
requires three blocks that cannot be reallocated.
You must enter the ipv6acl allocation as a factor of 2 (2, 4, 6, 8, 10). All other prole allocations can use either even or odd-numbered
ranges.
The default option sets the CAM Prole as follows:
• L3 ACL (ipv4acl): 6
• L2 ACL(l2acl): 5
• IPv6 L3 ACL (ipv6acl): 0
• L3 QoS (ipv4qos): 1
• L2 QoS (l2qos): 1
To have the changes take eect, save the new CAM settings to the startup-cong (write-mem or copy run start) then reload the
system for the new settings.
• Allocate space for IPV6 ACLs. Enter the CAM prole name then the allocated amount.
CONFIGURATION mode
cam-acl { ipv6acl }
When not selecting the default option, enter all of the proles listed and a range for each.
The total space allocated must equal 13.
The ipv6acl range must be a factor of 2.
