Configuring C-BSRs for each admin-scope zone
In a network with administrative scoping enabled, group-range-specific BSRs are elected from C-BSRs.
C-RPs in the network send advertisement messages to the specific BSR. The BSR summarizes the
advertisement messages to form an RP-set and advertises it to all routers in the specific admin-scope zone.
All the routers use the same hash algorithm to get the RP address corresponding to the specific multicast
group.
Perform the following configuration on the routers that you want to configure as C-BSRs in admin-scope
zones.
To do...
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter IPv6 PIM view.
3.
Configure a C-BSR for an
admin-scope zone.
Hash mask length and C-BSR priority
You can configure these parameters at three levels:
Global configuration level
•
Global scope zone level
•
Admin-scope zone level
•
Parameter values configured at the admin-scope zone level has preference over the global configuration
level values, and default to the global value level.
For configuration of global C-BSR parameters, see
Configuring IPv6 PIM-SSM
The IPv6 PIM-SSM model needs the support of MLDv2. Be sure to enable MLDv2 on IPv6 PIM routers with
receivers attached to them.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure IPv6 PIM-SSM, 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 IPv6 SSM group range
•
Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
The SSM model is implemented based on some subsets of IPv6 PIM-SM. Therefore, you must enable IPv6
PIM-SM before configuring IPv6 PIM-SSM.
All the interfaces of the same device must work in the same IPv6 PIM mode. When you deploy an IPv6
PIM-SSM domain, enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of routers.
Use the command...
system-view
pim ipv6
c-bsr scope { scope-id |
admin-local | global |
organization-local | site-local }
