IPv6 Multicast
IPv6 multicast is supported on the MXL switch platform.
The Dell Networking OS supports the following protocols to implement IPv6 multicast routing:
• Multicast listener discovery protocol (MLD) — MLD on a multicast router sends out periodic general MLD queries that the
switch forwards through all ports in the VLAN. There are two versions of MLD: MLD version 1 is based on version 2 of the
Internet group 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.
Secure Shell (SSH) Over an IPv6 Transport
IPv6 secure shell (SSH) is supported on the MXL switch platform.
The Dell Networking OS supports both inbound and outbound SSH sessions using IPv6 addressing. Inbound SSH supports accessing
the system through the management interface as well as through a physical Layer 3 interface.
For SSH conguration details, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
