enable neighbor tracking, you must enable it on all IPv6 PIM routers on a shared-media LAN.
Otherwise, the upstream router cannot track join messages from every downstream routers.
• Generation ID—A router generates a generation ID for hello messages when an interface is
enabled with IPv6 PIM. The generation ID is a random value, but only changes when the status
of the router changes. If an IPv6 PIM router finds that the generation ID in a hello message from
the upstream router has changed, it considers that the status of the upstream router has
changed. In this case, it sends a join message to the upstream router for status update. You can
configure an interface to drop hello messages without the generation ID options to promptly
know the status of an upstream router.
You can configure hello message options for all interfaces in IPv6 PIM view or for the current
interface in interface view. The configuration made in interface view takes priority over the
configurations made in IPv6 PIM view.
