Displaying PIM6
Neighbor Information
Configuring Global
PIM6-SM Settings
Use the Routing Protocol > PIM6 > Neighbor page to display all neighboring PIMv6
routers.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Address – IP address of the next-hop router.
◆
VLAN – VLAN that is attached to this neighbor.
◆
Uptime – The duration this entry has been active.
◆
Expire – The time before this entry will be removed.
◆
DR – The designated PIM6-SM router. If multicast hosts are directly connected
to the LAN, then only one of these routers is elected as the DR, and acts on
behalf of these hosts, sending periodic Join/Prune messages toward a group-
specific RP for each group.
Web Interface
To display neighboring PIMv6 routers:
1.
Click Routing Protocol, PIM6, Neighbor.

Figure 537: Showing PIMv6 Neighbors

Use the Routing Protocol > PIM6 > SM (Configure Global) page to configure the rate
at which register messages are sent, the source of register messages, and switch
over to the Shortest Path Tree (SPT).
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Register Rate Limit – Configures the rate at which register messages are sent
by the Designated Router (DR) for each (source, group) entry. (Range: 1-65535
packets per second: Default: disabled)
This parameter can be used to relieve the load on the designated router (DR)
and rendezvous point (RP). However, because register messages exceeding the
limit are dropped, some receivers may experience data packet loss within the
first few seconds in which register messages are sent from bursty sources.
