FIGURE 2 PIM6 SM traffic reduction in Global Ethernet environment
The devices on the edge of the Global Ethernet cloud are configured for MLD snooping and PIM6 SM
traffic snooping. Although this application uses multiple devices, the feature has the same
requirements and works the same way as it does on a single device.
traffic snooping. Although this application uses multiple devices, the feature has the same
requirements and works the same way as it does on a single device.
Configuration notes and limitations for PIM6 SM snooping
•
PIM6 SM snooping applies only to PIM6 SM version 2 (PIM6 SM V2).
•
PIM6 SM traffic snooping is supported in the Layer 2, base Layer 3, and full Layer 3 code.
•
MLD snooping must be enabled on the device that will be running PIM6 SM snooping. The PIM6
SM traffic snooping feature requires MLD snooping.
SM traffic snooping feature requires MLD snooping.
NOTE
Use the passive mode of MLD snooping instead of the active mode. The passive mode assumes that
a router is sending group membership queries as well as join and prune messages on behalf of
receivers. The active mode configures the device to send group membership queries.
