Make sure that 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.

Configuring IPv6 PIM Common Features

For the functions or parameters that can be configured in both IPv6 PIM view and interface view

described in this section:

Configurations performed in IPv6 PIM view are effective to all interfaces, while configurations

performed in interface view are effective to the current interface only.

If the same function or parameter is configured in both IPv6 PIM view and interface view, the

configuration made in interface view has preference over the configuration made in PIM view,

regardless of the configuration sequence.

Complete these tasks to configure IPv6 PIM common features:

Configuring an IPv6 Multicast Data Filter

Configuring a Hello Message Filter

Configuring IPv6 PIM Hello Options

Configuring IPv6 PIM Common Timers

Configuring Join/Prune Message Sizes

Before configuring IPv6 PIM common features, complete the following tasks:

Configure any IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at

the network layer.

Configure IPv6 PIM-DM (or IPv6 PIM-SM or IPv6 PIM-SSM).

Before configuring IPv6 PIM common features, prepare the following data:

An IPv6 ACL rule for filtering IPv6 multicast data

An IPv6 ACL rule defining a legal source address range for hello messages

Priority for DR election (global value/interface level value)
