Task
Configuring IPv6
administrative scoping
Configuring IPv6 multicast source registration
Disabling SPT switchover
Configuring IPv6 PIM common features

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure IPv6 PIM-SM, complete the following tasks:
Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure any IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
•
domain are interoperable at the network layer.
Determine the IP address of a static RP and the IPv6 ACL that defines the range of IPv6 multicast
•
groups that the static RP will serve.
Determine the C-RP priority and the IPv6 ACL that defines the range of IPv6 multicast groups to be
•
served by each C-RP.
Determine the legal C-RP address range and the IPv6 ACL that define the range of IPv6 multicast
•
groups to be served.
Determine the C-RP-Adv interval.
•
Determine the C-RP timeout.
•
Determine the C-BSR priority.
•
Determine the hash mask length.
•
Determine the IPv6 ACL rule defining a legal BSR address range.
•
Determine the BS period.
•
Determine the BS timeout.
•
Determine the IPv6 ACL for register message filtering.
•
Determine the register suppression time.
•
Determine the register probe time.
•
Determine the IPv6 ACL and sequencing rule for disabling SPT switchover.
•

Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM

With IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, a router sends hello messages periodically to discover IPv6 PIM neighbors
and processes messages from the IPv6 PIM neighbors. When you deploy an IPv6 PIM-SM domain,
enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of the routers.
Follow these steps to enable IPv6 PIM-SM:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable IPv6 multicast routing
Enabling IPv6 administrative scoping
Configuring an IPv6 admin-scope zone boundary
Configuring C-BSRs for IPv6 admin-scope zones
Use the command...
system-view
multicast ipv6 routing-enable
