CHAPTER 5
Configuring IPv6 Multicast
IPv6 multicast enables a device to send packets to a group of hosts rather than to a list
of individual hosts. This chapter describes how to configure IPv6 multicast on the E Series
router; it contains the following sections:

IPv6 Multicast Overview
IPv6 defines three types of addresses: unicast, anycast, and multicast. Each type of
address enables a device to send datagrams to selected recipients:
•
A unicast address enables a device to send a datagram to a single recipient.
