Configuration prerequisites

Before configuring IPv6 PIM-DM, complete the following tasks:
Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
•
domain are interoperable at the network layer
Determine the interval between state refresh messages
•
Determine the minimum time to wait before receiving a new refresh message
•
Determine the hop limit value of state-refresh messages
•
Determine the graft retry period
•
A receiver joins IPv6 multicast
group G
