Enabling a VLAN termination-enabled interface to transmit broadcasts and multicasts

This function enables ambiguous Dot1q or QinQ termination-enabled interfaces to transmit broadcasts and multicasts.

As a best practice, use the vlan-termination broadcast ra command to enable an ambiguous Dot1q or QinQ termination-enabled interface to transmit RA multicast packets on an IPv6 network. This command prohibits transmission of broadcast packets and other types of multicast packets, and consumes less CPU resources than the vlan-termination broadcast enable command.

To enable a VLAN termination-enabled interface to transmit broadcasts and multicasts:

Step

Command

Remarks

1. Enter system view.

N/A

2. Enter interface view.

  • Enter Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface view:interface interface-type interface-number.subnumber

  • Enter Layer 3 aggregate subinterface view:interface route-aggregation interface-number.subnumber

  • Enter L3VE subinterface view:interface ve-l3vpn interface-number.subnumber

N/A

3. Enable the interface to transmit broadcasts and multicasts.

  • Enable the interface to transmit broadcasts and multicasts.vlan-termination broadcast enable

  • Enable the interface to transmit only RA multicasts on an IPv6 network.vlan-termination broadcast ra

By default, an ambiguous Dot1q or QinQ termination-enabled interface does not transmit broadcasts and multicasts.
