Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
Because IPV6 BIDIR-PIM is implemented on the basis of IPv6 PIM-SM, you must enable IPv6 PIM-SM
before enabling IPV6 BIDIR-PIM. To deploy an IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain, enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-
border interfaces of the domain.
Follow these steps to enable IPv6 PIM-SM:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable IPv6 multicast routing
Enter interface view
Enable IPv6 PIM-SM
CAUTION:
All interfaces of the same device must work in the same IPv6 PIM mode.
NOTE:
For more information about the multicast ipv6 routing-enable command, see the
Command Reference
Enabling IPv6 BIDIR-PIM
Perform this configuration on all routers in the IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain.
Follow these steps to enable IPv6 BIDIR-PIM:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter IPv6 PIM view
Enable IPv6 BIDIR-PIM
Configuring an RP
An RP can be manually configured or dynamically elected through the BSR mechanism. For a large IPv6
PIM network, static RP configuration is a tedious job. Generally, static RP configuration is just a backup
means for the dynamic RP election mechanism to enhance the robustness and operation manageability
of a multicast network.
Use the command...
system-view
multicast ipv6 routing-enable
interface interface-type interface-
number
pim ipv6 sm
.
Use the command...
system-view
pim ipv6
bidir-pim enable
