IPv6 PIM Sparse

IPv6 PIM-Sparse mode
To configure a device for IPv6 PIM Sparse, perform the following tasks:
• Identify the Layer 3 switch as a candidate sparse Rendezvous Point (RP), if applicable.
• Specify the IPv6 address of the RP (to configure statically).
The following example enables IPv6 PIM-SM routing. Enter the following command at the
configuration level to enable IPv6 PIM-SM globally.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router)#
To enable IPv6 PIM Sparse mode on an interface, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 2/2
Brocade(config-if-e10000-2/2)# ipv6 address a000:1111::1/64
Brocade(config-if-e10000-2/2)# ipv6 pim-sparse
Syntax: [no] ipv6 pim-sparse
Use the no option to remove IPv6 PIM sparse configuration from the interface.
The commands in this example add an IPv6 interface to port 2/2, then enable IPv6 PIM Sparse on
the interface.
Configuring IPv6 PIM-SM on a virtual routing interface
You can enable IPv6 PIM-SM on a virtual routing interface by entering commands such as the
following.
Brocade(config)# interface ve 15
Brocade(config-vif-15)# ipv6 address a000:1111::1/64
Brocade(config-vif-15)# ipv6 pim-sparse
Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM for a specified VRF
To enable IPv6 PIM-SM for the VRF named “blue”, create the VRF named “blue”, enable it for IPv6
routing, and then enable IPv6 PIM-SM for the VRF, as shown in the following example.
Brocade(config)# vrf blue
Brocade(config-vrf-blue)# rd 11:1
Brocade(config-vrf-blue)# address-family ipv6
Brocade(config-vrf-blue-ipv6)# router pim
Brocade(config-pim-router)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)
Syntax: [no] ipv6 router pim [vrf vrf-name]
The vrf parameter allows you to configure IPv6 PIM-SM on the virtual routing instance (VRF)
specified by the vrf-name variable. All PIM parameters available for the default router instance are
configurable for a VRF-based PIM instance.
Use the no option to remove all configuration for PIM multicast on the specified VRF.
Configuring BSRs
In addition to the global and interface parameters configured in the prior sections, you must
identify an interface on at least one device as a candidate PIM Sparse Bootstrap Router (BSR) and
a candidate PIM Sparse Rendezvous Point (RP).
