44.2.4 PIM-SM6 Troubleshooting
When configuring and using PIM-SM protocol, PIM-SM protocol may fail to work normally due to physical
connections, incorrect configuration and so on. So, users shall note the following points:
Assure the physical connection is correct.
Assure the Protocol of Interface and Link is UP (use show interface command);
Unicast route shall be used to carry out RPF examination for multicast protocol. So the correctness of
unicast route shall be guaranteed above all.
PIM-SM Protocol requires supports of RP and BSR, therefore you should use show ipv6 pim bsr-router
first to see if there is BSR information. If not, you need to check if there is unicast routing leading to BSR.
Use show ipv6 pim rp-hash command to check if RP information is correct; if there is no RP information,
you still need to check unicast routing;
