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 you deploy an IPv6 PIM-SM domain,

enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of the routers.
To enable IPv6 PIM-SM:

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enable IPv6 multicast routing. multicast ipv6 routing-enable

Disable by default

3.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

4.

Enable IPv6 PIM-SM.

pim ipv6 sm

Disabled by default

CAUTION:

All the interfaces of the same device must work in the same IPv6 PIM mode.

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.
