IPv6 PIM Sparse
2
NOTE
Specify the same IP address as the RP on all IPv6 PIM Sparse routers within the IPv6 PIM Sparse
domain. Make sure the device is on the backbone or is otherwise well-connected to the rest of the
network.
To specify the IPv6 address of the RP, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router)# rp-address 31::207
The command in the previous example identifies the router interface at IPv6 address 31:207 as
the RP for the IPv6 PIM Sparse domain. The device will use the specified RP and ignore group-to-RP
mappings received from the BSR.
To specify the IPv6 address of the RP for a specified VRF, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# rp-address 31::207
Syntax: [no] rp-address ipv6-addr
The ipv6-addr parameter specifies the IPv6 address of the RP.
Updating IPv6 PIM Sparse forwarding entries with a new RP configuration
If you make changes to your static RP configuration, the entries in the IPv6 PIM Sparse multicast
forwarding table continue to use the old RP configuration until they are aged out.
The clear IPv6 pim rp-map command allows you to update the entries in the static multicast
forwarding table immediately after making RP configuration changes. This command is meant to
be used with the rp-address command.
To update the entries in an IPv6 PIM Sparse static multicast forwarding table with a new RP
configuration, enter the following command at the privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)# clear ipv6 pim rp-map
Syntax: clear ipv6 pim rp-map
Embedded Rendezvous Point
Global deployment of IPv4 multicast relies on Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) to
convey information about the active sources. Because IPv6 provides more address space, the RP
address can be included in the multicast group address.
NOTE
The IPv6 group address must be part of the FF70:/12 prefix.
Embedded RP support is enabled by default. You can disable it using the following commands.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router)# no rp-embedded
To disable embedded RP support for a specified VRF, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router pim vrf blue
Brocade(config-ipv6-pim-router-vrf-blue)# no rp-embedded
Syntax: [no] rp-embedded
