Configuring PIMv6 for IPv6
This section describes how to configure PIM-DM and PIM-SM for IPv6.
Enabling
PIMv6 Globally
Use the Routing Protocol > PIM6 > General page to enable IPv6 PIM routing
globally on the router.
Command Usage
◆ This feature enables PIM-DM and PIM-SM for IPv6 globally on the router. You
also need to enable PIM-DM and PIM-SM for each interface that will support
multicast routing (see page 775), and make any changes necessary to the
multicast protocol parameters.
◆ To use PIMv6, multicast routing must be enabled on the switch (see “Enabling
Multicast Routing Globally” on page 754).
◆ To use multicast routing, MLD proxy cannot be enabled on any interface of the
device (see “MLD Proxy Routing” in the CLI Reference Guide).
Web Interface
To enable PIMv6 multicast routing:
1. Click Routing Protocol, PIM6, General.
2. Enable PIM6 Routing Protocol.
3. Click Apply.

Interface Settings
Use the Routing Protocol > PIM6 > Interface page configure the routing protocol’s
functional attributes for each interface.
Command Usage
◆ Most of the attributes on this page are common to both PIM6-DM and
PIM6-SM. Select Dense or Sparse Mode to display the common attributes, as
well as those applicable to the selected mode.
◆ An IPv6 address must first be assigned to the required routing interface before
PIMv6 can be configured on this page.
