Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure IPv6 PIM-SM, configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in
the domain can interoperate at the network layer.

Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM

Enable IPv6 multicast routing before configuring IPv6 PIM.
With IPv6 PIM-SM enabled on interfaces, routers can establish IPv6 PIM neighbor relationship and
process IPv6 PIM messages from their IPv6 PIM neighbors. As a best practice, enable IPv6 PIM-SM
on all non-border interfaces of routers when you deploy an IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
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
timers."
