Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
You must enable IPv6 PIM-SM before enabling IPv6 BIDIR-PIM because IPv6 BIDIR-PIM is implemented on
the basis of IPv6 PIM-SM. To deploy an IPv6 BIDIR-PIM domain, enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border
interfaces of the domain.
IMPORTANT:
A
ll interfaces on a device must operate 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.
When both IPv6 PIM-SM and IPv6 BIDIR-PIM run on the IPv6 PIM network, do not use the same RP to
serve IPv6 PIM-SM and IPv6 BIDIR-PIM. Otherwise, exceptions might occur to the IPv6 PIM routing table.
Configuring a static RP
If only one dynamic RP exists 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.
