To do...
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-enable command, see IPv6 Multicast Routing and
Forwarding Commands in the IP Multicast Volume.
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.
Configuring a static RP
If there is only one dynamic RP in a network, manually configuring a static RP can avoid communication
interruption due to single-point failures and avoid frequent message exchange between C-RPs and the
BSR.
Perform the following configuration on all the routers in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
Follow these steps to configure a static RP:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter IPv6 PIM view
Configure a static RP
Use the command...
multicast ipv6 routing-enable
interface interface-type
interface-number
pim ipv6 sm
Use the command...
system-view
pim ipv6
static-rp ipv6-rp-address
[ acl6-number ] [ preferred ]
