Configuring IPv6 multicast source port filtering
With the IPv6 multicast source port filtering feature enabled on a port, the port can be connected with IPv6 multicast receivers only rather than with multicast sources, because the port will block all IPv6 multicast data packets but it will permit multicast protocol packets to pass.
If this feature is disabled on a port, the port can be connected with both multicast sources and IPv6 multicast receivers.
