• After receiving a BSMF that contains the RP-set information of one group range, a non-BSR router
updates corresponding RP-set information directly.
• If the RP-set information of one group range is carried in multiple BSMFs, a non-BSR router updates
corresponding RP-set information after receiving all these BSMFs.
Because the RP-set information contained in each segment is different, loss of some IP fragments will not
result in dropping of the entire message.
Generally, a BSR performs BSM semantic fragmentation according to the MTU of its BSR interface.
However, the semantic fragmentation of BSMs originated due to learning of a new IPv6 PIM neighbor is
performed according to the MTU of the outgoing interface.
The function of BSM semantic fragmentation is enabled by default. A device that does not support this
function might regard a fragment as an entire message and learns only part of the RP-set information.
Therefore, if such devices exist in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain, you need to disable the semantic
fragmentation function on the C-BSRs.
To disable the BSM semantic fragmentation function:
Ste

Command
Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter IPv6 PIM view.

3. Disable the BSM semantic
fragmentation function.
undo bsm-fragment enable
By default, the BSM semantic
fragmentation function is enabled.
Configuring IPv6 administrative scoping
With IPv6 administrative scoping disabled, an IPv6 PIM-SM domain has only one BSR. The BSR
manages the whole network. To manage your network more effectively and specifically, you can
partition the IPv6 PIM-SM domain into multiple IPv6 admin-scoped zones. Each IPv6 admin-scoped zone
maintains a BSR, which serves a specific IPv6 multicast group range. The IPv6 global-scoped zone also
maintains a BSR, which serves the IPv6 multicast groups with the Scope field in the group addresses
being 14.
Enabling IPv6 administrative scoping
Before you configure an IPv6 admin-scoped zone, you must enable IPv6 administrative scoping.
Perform the following configuration on all routers in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
To enable IPv6 administrative scoping:

c-bsr admin-scope Disabled by default.
Configuring an IPv6 admin-scoped zone boundary
ZBRs form the boundary of each IPv6 admin-scoped zone. Each admin-scoped zone maintains a BSR,
which serves multicast groups with a specific Scope field in their group addresses. Multicast protocol
