IPv6 PIM-SSM configuration task list

Task

Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM

Configuring the IPv6 SSM group range

Configuring IPv6 PIM common features

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure IPv6 PIM-SSM, complete the following tasks:
Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an 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
When you enable IPv6 PIM-SM, follow these guidelines:
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-SSM domain, 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
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 depends on whether the group address in the (S, G) channel
subscribed by the receivers falls into 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.
Configuration guidelines
Make sure the same IPv6 SSM group range is configured on all routers in the entire domain.
•
Otherwise, IPv6 multicast data cannot be delivered through the IPv6 SSM model.
When a member of an IPv6 multicast group in the IPv6 SSM group range sends an MLDv1 report
•
message, the device does not trigger a (*, G) join.
