Configuring BFD for IPv6 PIM
IPv6 PIM uses hello messages to elect a DR for a multi-access network. The elected DR will be the only
multicast forwarder on the multi-access network.
If the DR fails, a new DR election process will start after the DR is aged out. However, it might take a long
period of time. To start a new DR election process immediately after the original DR fails, you can enable
BFD for IPv6 PIM on a multi-access network to detect failures of the links among IPv6 PIM neighbors. You
must enable BFD for IPv6 PIM on all IPv6 PIM-capable routers on a multi-access network, so that the IPv6
PIM neighbors can fast detect DR failures and start a new DR election process.
Before you configure this feature on an interface, be sure to enable IPv6 PIM-DM or IPv6 PIM-SM on the
interface.
