Troubleshooting IPv6 PIM

A multicast distribution tree cannot be correctly built

Symptom
No IPv6 multicast forwarding entries are established on the routers (including routers directly connected
with multicast sources or receivers) in an IPv6 PIM network. An IPv6 multicast distribution tree cannot be
correctly built.
Analysis
On an IPv6 PIM-DM network, IPv6 multicast data is flooded from the router that directly connects to
the IPv6 multicast source to the routers that directly connects to the receivers. When the IPv6
multicast data is flooded to a router, the router creates an (S, G) entry only if it has a route to the IPv6
multicast source. A router cannot create an (S, G) entry due to one of the following reasons:
The router does not have a route to the IPv6 multicast source.
IPv6 PIM-DM is not enabled on the RPF interface toward the IPv6 multicast source.
On an IPv6 PIM-SM network, when a router wants to join the SPT, the router creates an (S, G) entry.
A router cannot create an (S, G) entry because of one of the following reasons:
