Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM

With IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, a router sends hello messages periodically to discover IPv6 PIM neighbors
and processes messages from the IPv6 PIM neighbors. When deploying an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, you
are recommended to enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of the routers.
All the interfaces of the same device must operate in the same IPv6 PIM mode.
MLD snooping is not allowed in a VLAN after IPv6 PIM-SM is enabled on the virtual interface of the
VLAN, and vice versa.
To enable IPv6 PIM-SM:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IPv6 multicast routing.
3. Enter interface view.
4. Enable IPv6 PIM-SM.
Configuring an RP
An RP can be manually configured or dynamically elected through the BSR mechanism. For a large IPv6
PIM network, static RP configuration is a tedious job. Generally, static RP configuration is just a backup
means for the dynamic RP election mechanism to enhance the robustness and operation manageability
of a multicast network.
CAUTION:
When both IPv6 PIM-SM and IPv6 BIDIR-PIM run on the IPv6 PIM network, do not use the same RP to serve
IPv6 PIM-SM and IPv6 BIDIR-PIM. Otherwise, exceptions might occur to the IPv6 PIM routing table.
