Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
With IPv6 PIM-SM enabled, a router sends hello messages periodically to discover IPv6 PIM neighbors
and processes messages from the IPv6 PIM neighbors. When deploying an IPv6 PIM-SM domain, you
are recommended to enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of the routers.
Follow these steps to enable IPv6 PIM-SM:
To do... Use the command... Remarks

Disabled by default
CAUTION:
All the interfaces of the same device must work in the same IPv6 PIM mode.
NOTE:
For more information about the multicast ipv6 routing-enable command, see IPv6 Multicast Routing and
Forwarding Commands in the IP Multicast Volume.
Configuring an RP
An RP can be manually configured or dynamically elected through the BSR mechanism. For a large IPv6
PIM network, static RP configuration is a tedious job. Generally, static RP configuration is just a backup
means for the dynamic RP election mechanism to enhance the robustness and operation manageability
of a multicast network.
Configuring a static RP
If there is only one dynamic RP in a network, manually configuring a static RP can avoid communication
interruption due to single-point failures and avoid frequent message exchange between C-RPs and the
BSR.
