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.

IMPORTANT:

ll the interfaces on a device must be enabled with the same IPv6 PIM mode.

To enable IPv6 PIM-SM:

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

method for the dynamic RP election mechanism to enhance the robustness and operation manageability

of a multicast network.

Configuring a static RP

If only one dynamic RP exists in a network, manually configuring a static RP can avoid communication

interruption because of single-point failures. It can also avoid frequent message exchange between C-RPs

and the BSR.

To make a static RP to work correctly, you must perform this configuration on all routers in the IPv6

PIM-SM domain and specify the same RP address.

To configure a static RP:
