Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
The SSM model is implemented based on some subsets of IPv6 PIM-SM. Therefore, a router is IPv6
PIM-SSM capable after you enable IPv6 PIM-SM on it.
When deploying an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, you are recommended to enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all
non-border interfaces of routers.
Follow these steps to enable IPv6 PIM-SSM:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable IPv6 multicast routing
Enter interface view
Enable IPv6 PIM-SM
All the interfaces of the same device must work in the same IPv6 PIM mode.
For details about the multicast ipv6 routing-table command, see IPv6 Multicast Routing and
Forwarding Commands in the IP Multicast Volume.
