# Display IPv6 PIM multicast routing table information on Switch A.

Troubleshooting IPv6 PIM

A multicast distribution tree cannot be correctly built

Symptom

An IPv6 multicast distribution tree cannot be correctly built because no IPv6 multicast forwarding entries

are established on the routers (including routers directly connected with multicast sources or receivers) in

an IPv6 PIM network.

Analysis

On an IPv6 PIM-DM enabled network, IPv6 multicast data is flooded from the router that directly

connects to the IPv6 multicast source to the routers that directly connects to the receivers. When the

IPv6 multicast data is flooded to a router, the router creates an (S, G) entry only if it has a route to

the IPv6 multicast source. If the router does not have a route to the IPv6 multicast source, or if IPv6
PIM-DM is not enabled on the RPF interface toward the IPv6 multicast source, the router cannot

create an (S, G) entry.
