Configuring Ipv6 Pim-Ssm - HP A8800 Configuration Manual

Configuring IPv6 PIM-SSM

The IPv6 PIM-SSM model needs the support of MLDv2. Therefore, be sure to enable MLDv2 on IPv6 PIM
routers with receivers attached to them.

Configuration prerequisites
Before configuring IPv6 PIM-SSM, complete the following task:
Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure any IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
•
domain are interoperable at the network layer.
Determine the IPv6 SSM group range.
•
Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
The SSM model is implemented based on some subsets of IPv6 PIM-SM. Therefore, you must enable IPv6
PIM-SM before configuring IPv6 PIM-SSM.
When you deploy an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, HP recommends you to enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all
non-border interfaces of routers.
All the interfaces of the same device must operate in the same IPv6 PIM mode.
To enable IPv6 PIM-SSM:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IPv6 multicast routing.
3. Enter interface view.
4. Enable IPv6 PIM-SM.
Configuring the IPv6 SSM group range
As for whether the information from an IPv6 multicast source is delivered to the receivers based on the
IPv6 PIM-SSM model or the IPv6 PIM-SM model, this depends on whether the group address in the (S, G)
channel subscribed by the receivers falls in the IPv6 SSM group range. All IPv6 PIM-SM-enabled
interfaces assume that IPv6 multicast groups within this address range are using the IPv6 SSM model.
