Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure common IPv6 PIM features, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain can interoperate at
the network layer.
•
Configure IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SSM.
Configuring an IPv6 multicast source policy
This feature enables the device to filter IPv6 multicast data by using an ACL that specifies the IPv6
multicast sources and the optional groups. It filters not only IPv6 multicast data packets but also IPv6
PIM register messages with IPv6 multicast data encapsulated. This also reduces the IPv6 multicast
traffic on the network.
To configure an IPv6 multicast source policy:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter IPv6 PIM view.
3. Configure an IPv6 multicast
source policy.
ssm-policy ipv6-acl-number
Command
system-view
ipv6 pim
[ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]
source-policy ipv6-acl-number
407
The default range is FF3x::/32,
where x can be any valid scope.
Remarks
N/A
N/A
By default, no IPv6 multicast
source policy exists. The device
does not filter IPv6 multicast
data packets.
