Chapter 44 IPv6 Multicast Protocol
44-17
Switch(config)#ipv6 pim anycast-rp self-rp-address 2004::2
Switch(config)#ipv6 pim anycast-rp 2006::1 2003::1
Please pay attention to that, for promulgating loopback interface router, if use MBGP4+ protocol, then can use
network command; or use RIPng protocol, then can use route command.
44.3.4 ANYCAST RP v6 Troubleshooting
When configuring and using ANYCAST RP v6 function, the ANYCAST RP might work abnormally because of
faults in physical connections, configurations or something others. So, the users should pay attention to the
following points:
 The physical connections should be guaranteed to be correct
 The PIM-SM6 protocol should be guaranteed to operate normally
 The ANYCAST RP should be guaranteed to be enabled in Global configuration mode
 The self-rp-address should be guaranteed to be configured correctly in Global configuration mode
 The other-rp-address should be guaranteed to be configured correctly in Global configuration mode
 All the interface routers should be guaranteed to be correctly added, including the loopback interface as
a RP
 Use “show ipv6 pim anycast rp status” command to check whether the configuration information of
ANYCAST RP is correct
If the problems of ANYCAST still cannot be solved after checking, please use debug commands like “debug
ipv6 pim anycast-rp”, then copy the DEBUG information within three minutes and send it to the technical
service center of our company.
44.4 PIM-SSM6
44.4.1 Introduction to PIM-SSM6
Source Specific Multicast (PIM-SSM6) is a new kind of multicast service protocol. With PIM-SSM6, a multicast
session is distinguished by the multicast group address and multicast source address. In SSM6, hosts can be
added into the multicast group manually and efficiently like the traditional PIM-SM6, but leave out the shared
tree and RP management in PIM-S6M. In SSM6, SPT tree will be constructed with (S,G). G for the multicast
group address and S for the source address of the multicast which sends datagram to G. (S,G) in a pair is
named as a channel of SSM6. SSM6 serves best for the application of multicast service which is from one
station to many ones, for example, the network sports video channel, and the news channel. By default, the
multicast group address of SSM6 is limited to ff3x::/32. However this address range can be extended
according to actual situations.
PIM-SSM6 can be supported in the PIM-DM6 environment.
