2. Under the Controller IP Details section, select the VLAN Id or the loopback interface Id in the IPv6
Address drop down.
3. Click Apply.
In the CLI
To configure an IPv6 address to the controller:
(host)(config)#controller-ipv6 loopback
(host)(config)#controller-ipv6 vlan <vlanId>
To enable logging over IPv6:
(host)(config)#logging <ipv6 address>
Configuring Multicast Listener Discovery
You can enable the IPv6 multicast snooping on the controller by using the WebUI or CLI and configure
Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) parameters such as query interval, query response interval, robustness
variable, and ssm-range.
The Source Specific Multicast (SSM) supports delivery of multicast packets that originate only from a specific
source address requested by the receiver. You can forward multicast streams to the clients if the source and
group match the client subscribed source group pairs (S,G).
The controller supports the following IPv6 multicast source filtering modes:
l Include - In Include mode, the reception of packets sent to a specified multicast address is enabled only
from the source addresses listed in the source list. The default IPv6 SSMaddress range is FF3X::4000:1 –
FF3X::FFFF:FFFF, and the hosts subscribing to SSM groups can only be in the Include mode.
l Exclude - In Exclude mode, the reception of packets sent to a specific multicast address is enabled from all
source addresses. If there is a client in the Exclude mode, the subscription is treated as an MLDv1 join.
For more information on MLD feature, see RFC 3810 and RFC 4604,
Starting with ArubaOS 6.4.2.3, MLD snooping does not add IPv6 Solicited-Node multicast address or groups to
the multicast table. A Solicited-Node multicast address is an IPv6 multicast address valid within the local-link
(example, an Ethernet segment or a Frame Relay cloud). Every IPv6 host has at least one such address per
interface. Solicited-Node multicast addresses are used in Neighbor Discovery Protocol for obtaining the layer 2
link-layer addresses of other nodes.
In the WebUI
To enable IPv6 MLD Snooping
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP page and select the IP Interfaces tab.
2. Click the Edit button listed under Actions to edit the required VLANinterface.
3. Select IPv6 from the IP version drop-down list.
4. Check the Enable MLD Snooping check box under MLD section to enable IPv6 MLD snooping.
5. Click Apply.
To Modify IPv6 MLD Parameters
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Network > IP page and select the Multicast tab.
2. Under the MLD section, enter the required values in the following fields:
l Robustness Variable: default value is 2
l Query Interval (second): default value is 125 seconds
l Query Response Interval (in 1/10 second): default value is 100 (1/10 seconds).
3. Click Apply.
