The configuration procedure for SwitchA and SwitchB is as below:
(1) Configure SwitchA:
Switch (config) #ipv6 pim multicast-routing
Switch (config) #ipv6 pim rp-address 3FFE::1
Switch (config) #interface vlan 1
Switch (Config-if-Vlan1) #ipv6 address 3FFE::1/64
Switch (Config-if-Vlan1) #ipv6 pim sparse-mode
(2) Configure SwitchB:
Switch (config) #ipv6 pim multicast-routing
Switch (config) #ipv6 pim rp-address 3FFE::1
Switch (config) #interface vlan1
Switch (Config-if-Vlan1) #ipv6 address 3FFE::2/64
Switch (Config-if-Vlan1) #ipv6 pim sparse-mode
Switch (Config-if-Vlan1) #exit
Switch (config) #interface vlan2
Switch (Config-if-Vlan2) #ipv6 address 3FFA::1/64
Switch (Config-if-Vlan2) #ipv6 pim sparse-mode
Switch (Config-if-Vlan2) #ipv6 mld query-timeout 150
49.6.4 MLD Troubleshooting Help
When configuring and using MLD protocol, MLD protocol may fail to work normally due to physical
connections, incorrect configuration and so on. So, users shall note the following points:
 Assure the physical connection is correct.
 Assure the protocol of interface and link is UP (use show interface command)
 Assure to start one kind of multicast protocol on the interface
 Assure the time of the timers of each router on the same network segment is consistent; usually we
recommend the default setting.
 Unicast route shall be used to carry out RPF examination for multicast protocol. So the correctness of
unicast route shall be guaranteed above all.
