With IPv6 PIM-SM enabled on interfaces, routers can establish IPv6 PIM neighbor relationship and
process IPv6 PIM messages from their IPv6 PIM neighbors. When you deploy an IPv6 PIM-SM domain,
HP recommends that you enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces.
IMPORTANT:
All the interfaces on the same router must operate in the same IPv6 PIM mode in the public network or the
same VPN instance.
To enable IPv6 PIM-SM:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enable IPv6 multicast routing
and enter IPv6 MRIB view.
3.
Return to system view.
4.
Enter interface view.
5.
Enable IPv6 PIM-SM.

Configuring an RP

An RP can provide services for multiple or all IPv6 multicast groups. However, only one RP at a time can
forward IPv6 multicast traffic for an IPv6 multicast group.
An RP can be manually configured or dynamically elected through the BSR mechanism. For a
large-scaled IPv6 PIM network, configuring static RPs is a tedious job. Generally, static RPs are backups
for dynamic RPs to enhance the robustness and operational manageability on an IPv6 multicast network.
Configuring a static RP
If only one dynamic RP exists on a network, you can configure a static RP to avoid communication
interruption caused by single-point failures. The static RP can also avoid waste of bandwidth due to
frequent message exchange between C-RPs and the BSR. The static RP configuration must be the same on
all routers in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
To configure a static RP:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enter IPv6 PIM view.
3.
Configure a static RP for IPv6
PIM-SM.
Configuring a C-RP
In an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, if you want a router to become the RP, you can configure the router as a C-RP.
HP recommends that you configure C-RPs on backbone routers.
