Before configuring IPv6 PIM-SM, complete the following task:
Configure any IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain
■
are interoperable at the network layer.
Before configuring IPv6 PIM-SM, prepare the following data:
An IPv6 ACL rule defining a legal BSR address range
■
Hash mask length for RP selection calculation
■
C-BSR priority
■
Bootstrap interval
■
Bootstrap timeout time
■
An IPv6 ACL rule defining a legal C-RP address range and the range of IPv6
■
multicast groups to be served
C-RP-Adv interval
■
C-RP timeout time
■
The IPv6 address of a static RP
■
An IPv6 ACL rule for register message filtering
■
Register suppression time
■
Register probe time
■
The IPv6 multicast traffic rate threshold, IPv6 ACL rule, and sequencing rule for
■
RPT-to-SPT switchover
The interval of checking the IPv6 multicast traffic rate threshold before
■
RPT-to-SPT switchover
With IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, a router sends hello messages periodically to discover
IPv6 PIM neighbors and processes messages from IPv6 PIM neighbors. When
deploying an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, you are recommended to enable IPv6 PIM-SM
on all interfaces of non-border routers (border routers are IPv6 PIM routers located
on the boundary of BSR admin-scope regions).
Follow these steps to enable IPv6 PIM-SM:
